Hello GW Families,

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in October’s many events! From Parent Literacy Night and Trunk or Treat to the Candy Drive, Hungry Howie’s Fundraiser, Walk with Purpose Fundraiser, Harvest Party, and PTO, your involvement truly made a difference. We appreciate your support and dedication to our school community.

As we move into November, we encourage you to stay engaged by attending Parent-Teacher Conferences. These meetings are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers and continue supporting their learning journey. If you need assistance in setting these up, please reach out to your child's teacher. These conferences can be held in person, virtually, or over the phone. Our goal is 100% participation.

Lastly, we are launching our SchoolStore fundraiser. Please take a look at the details below.

Thank you again for being such an important part of our school family!

Warm regards,

I look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

E. Sikaundi, Principal

Last year Greenwood students benefited with over $2,000 in donations from SchoolStore! Everyone can win something, just by sending 6 text messages. It is simple.

Your child is bringing home a Book Buddy Lanyard letting you know about a safe and easy way for our school to raise funds for essential tools our students and teachers need to succeed.

The SchoolStore Program is 100% online so there is NO face-to-face selling, handling money, or delivering products. Your participation will take less than 12 minutes, and there are exciting prizes to make it fun for the students.

Here is all you need to do to participate:

1. Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000154322 to sign up.

2. Send form emails inviting family, friends and co-workers to support your child.

3. Return the Book Buddy Lanyard with the Student Prize Code to school for your child to get their fun participation prize.

Be sure to ask your child for the Book Buddy Lanyard tonight. Your participation will make a difference for our school and teachers!
