4-H History Bowl

Every year fourth graders across the county participate in the 4-H History Bowl, testing their knowledge of Virginia history. Students first compete at the school level and then a team is selected to compete at the county level. This year our Greendale Lions placed third at the Washington County 4-H History Bowl. We are so proud of the hard work of the team and their sponsor, Mrs. Davenport.

GES Fun Run

The GES Fun Run was held on Friday, April 11. While the weather was a bit uncooperative, students still completed the fun run in the gym with the support of teachers, parent volunteers, and student volunteers from Abingdon High School. Students collected donations to run which totaled $3,000! This money will be used to support the costs for field day and to purchase much needed equipment for P.E. classes. Thank you so much to our generous donors!
