Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! With just five school days left until the December break, classrooms are swinging into super-high gear to wrap up lessons, units, and many other loose ends before we head out the door for a little time off. Of course, there will be some fun activities as well! My hope for all of our Greenwood community over the break is simply that everyone gets to spend time relaxing and doing things that make them happy. Let’s wrap up 2023 with a positive attitude and welcome 2024 with big smiles, full hearts, and open arms!
Greenwood Spirit Days
Just another reminder about our theme days for the entire Greenwood community!
Monday, 12/18 - Greenwood/Wakefield spirit day Tuesday, 12/19 - Hat Day Wednesday, 12/20 - Cozy Flannel Day Thursday, 12/21 - Winter Wonderland (all things winter themed) Friday, 12/22 - Pajama Day
Lost & Found
Come and check out all the missing items - they’ve been nicely laid out on tables in the hallway for easier viewing. Anything left in the lost & found when we head into December break will be donated.
Thinking Ahead - 2024 Return
Not that anyone would wish away the December break (especially before it has even started!), but I wanted to make sure everyone is up-to-date on when we will get back to the business of learning in the new year. Students and staff will return to school on Tuesday, January 2nd after the observed holiday on the 1st.
Lunchroom Volunteers
Thank you to all of the fantastically-dedicated volunteers who have been making lunchtime a little brighter! You are so greatly appreciated!!
Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:10 pm on school days? Or 10:30-11:50 am on regular early release days? Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood? Then join us for our lunchroom volunteer opportunities! If you’d like to come in and help support students while they’re eating lunch, please see the linked Sign-Up Genius to select time slots through the end of December. (I’ll be updating dates through January/February soon!) Single days, multiple days, one time slot, the whole lunch block…we welcome any and all helpers!
Lunchroom volunteers will help students with those tricky thermoses, hand out napkins and utensils, support students while they sort items into composting/food rescue/trash, and help clean tables at the end of each lunch. Oh, and the most important thing - bring smiles and laughter!
NOTE: You will need to have a CORI form completed before coming in for any lunch shifts - please contact Ms. Paiva about the process or to check if you have a current one on file
Greenwood School Social Media
We are on Facebook and Instagram, and one of my personal goals this year is to show off the fun we’re having throughout Greenwood! Check us out - @wpsgreenwood on both Instagram and Facebook!
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.
Thank you for everything you do to support your children and their learning! Let’s have a great week!
