Last week, the whole school enjoyed a concert by the Greenbrier Beginning Band! Students in D25 begin their band experience in fifth grade. There are many instruments from which students may choose. There is no requirement for previous musical experience for most instruments, but if a student wishes to learn percussion (drums, mallets, bells, etc.), there is a requirement that the student must first have 2 years of formal piano or drum lessons. More information about this and all the instruments offered in fifth grade and beyond may be found here: Elementary Band Information

It's always a sad day for our Gator pond when families leave our community, but lives change and some families need to move away. Please let our office staff know if you have one or more Kindergarten - 5th grade students not attending Greenbrier or Thomas Middle School next year.

Remember once a Gator, always a Gator

• Our new Greenbrier Spirit Wear shop is open! Order whenever you'd like, especially if you know of an incoming kindergartner family or you want to upgrade your child's Greenbrier Gators gear. Orders are accepted year round, and new items include flannel pants, backpacks, blankets, stickers, bomber jackets, and more!
