We will be needing several staff and parent volunteers during the Walk-A-Thon to help register students, count laps, serve food and/or quickly clean up at the end. If you would like to be a volunteer in any one of those areas, please return the volunteer form to your child's teacher NLT Monday, September 16.
The monies raised from the Greenmont PTA Walk-A-Thon will continue to be used to support our students in many ways at our school. Thank you in advance for being supportive of our school! Go Grizzlies!

Good Afternoon Greenmont!
As you know, we are required to practice various safety drills each year including lock-in, lockdown, shelter-in-place, weather, evacuation and fire.
Today we practiced all of these drills as a school and I am very proud of how well all of our students and staff executed these drills. We were please to have Wood County Schools Safety Director, Jeremy Bell, on hand and he gave us rave reviews for the way we executed each of the drills.
Although nobody ever wants to have to have to use these drills for a real event, I am very proud of how serious our school takes these drills and for the fantastic results we have gotten. Please thank your child(ren) and our staff for a job well done. Have a wonderful weekend!
Good Afternoon Grizzlies!
Girls basketball try-outs (grades 3-5) will be held today and tomorrow from 3:10-5:00. We wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to try-out so if you cannot make it today, please come tomorrow.

Welcome Back Greenmont Staff!
Thursday, August 15 is our first day back as a staff. United Bank is providing breakfast in the lounge around 7:30 am. We will begin our mandatory staff meeting at 8:00 am in the cafeteria. For the meeting, please bring the manilla envelope I placed in your mailbox, your phone and a pen, but leave everything else in your classroom. Please do not bring things to work on as I need your full attention to go over the important information. WCS expects us to take a full two hours, but with your attention we can go quicker.
Our entire staff will be seated in the cafeteria so meet new staff members including Patty Stansberry and her aide Stone Allman, Missy's aide Cinda Parsons, and 1:1 aides Mindi Bower, Leslie Myers and Amy McCoy. Sandi Wiseman will be R.C.'s 1:1 sub aide until that position is filled. We have a ton of important things to go over and I want to free you up as much as possible to get your things done in your rooms. See you in the morning!
