Ramadan
Ramadan is a month of reflection and fasting observed by some families in our school community. We want to ensure that those students feel comfortable and supported. Understanding that their fasts last from sunrise to sunset, we offer an alternate space for students to spend their lunchtime away from the Commons, where lunch is held.
If your child observes the fast for Ramadan and prefers to utilize this alternate space, please let Mrs. Bingaman know. This will help us to make the necessary arrangements and ensure a peaceful and accommodating environment for all students during this time.
We appreciate your partnership and look forward to making this period as comfortable as possible for those observing Ramadan.
Multicultural Fair
It is time to sign up for our Annual Greenbrier Multicultural Fair 2026! This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your family's cultural backgrounds! Again this year, families can bring their favorite snack or dessert to share from their background. Please see the flyer for more information. Click this LINK or Scan the QR code to sign up by Friday, March 20th. Please email Mrs. Hornberg at bhornberg@sd25.org if you have any questions. Let's continue to make this fair bigger and better than ever!
Calendar Sync Update
Due to our recent website platform change, the process for syncing school and district calendars with your personal calendar is now different. The previous calendar sync from our former website will no longer show the most up-to-date information.
To continue receiving accurate event updates, please disconnect or delete the old calendar link and add the new one…it takes just a minute! A short how-to video is linked below to walk you through the steps.
