    Just a reminder that our K-5 Parent Night is Thursday, September 11th.
    • K-2 - 6:00-6:30

    This is a parent-only event. We hope to see you there. 
     
     
    Welcome from the Greenbrier PTA!
     

    Hello and welcome to the school year from the Greenbrier PTA!

    My name is Alicen Manus and I'm this year's PTA President. I have two children at Greenbrier: Emma is in fifth grade and Elijah is in first grade. I also have a seventh grader at Thomas. Our President-Elect is Becky Simpson. Becky has two children, Phoebe who is in second grade and a little one at home.

    We are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead, along with our amazing executive board and incredible committee chairs, we have many great events and programs in store to make this school year even more memorable for our kiddos. 

     

    Our first exciting event is the annual Back to School Bash! Mark your calendars for Friday, September 5th from 6:30 - 8:00pm on the blacktop - you won't want to miss this party. See the flyer below for additional details and to pre-order delicious hot dogs! 

     

    Parents! We need your help to make sure the Back to School Bash runs smoothly. Please sign-up for one of the slots in the link below.

     
                                                                                              Bash
     

    If you didn't join the PTA during online registration, now is your moment!

     

    Joining the PTA is the ONLY way to access the school directory. (Greenbrier cannot hand out phone numbers or email addresses for privacy reasons.) Joining the PTA also gives you access to a digital calendar to help keep track of PTA and school events. Also, if you are interested in volunteering as a room parent in your child's classroom, you must be a member of the PTA to participate. Click here to complete a Google form and send payment via Zelle. If you're not sure if you joined or not, send an email to d25greenbrierpta@gmail.com and we will let you know. Thank you!

     

    (If you have already joined, emails with links to Directory Spot and the calendar will be coming soon!)
     
    Please keep in mind that you're not eligible to be a Room Representative if you're not a member of the PTA. The SignUp Genius for the Room Rep volunteers will be coming out soon and will only be sent to PTA members. Additionally, there are several committees in need of chairs. If you volunteer to be the chairperson of a PTA committee, then you will be given priority to serve as a Room Rep. The committees still in need of a chairperson are as follows: 
    GATOR ROCK (one co-chair needed)
    REFLECTIONS (one chair needed. Please read here for more information about the Reflections program: https://www.pta.org/home/programs/reflections )
    SCHOOL SUPPLIES MENTEE 
     
    If you're interested in being the chair for any of the committees listed above OR are looking for other volunteer opportunities, please let us know!
     
     
    Our first PTA Meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday, September 16th in the LMC at 7:00 PM. This is a great way to meet new people, hear from the Principal and learn about fun ways to get involved--plus we'll have some treats to share! Hope to see you there!
     
    Wishing everyone a happy and healthy start to the school year and we're looking forward to seeing you all at the Back to School Bash next Friday!
     
    Did you take pictures on the first day of school? Want them to be in the yearbook? Please follow this link to learn how to upload your first day of school pictures and any pictures you may take throughout the year.
     

    Guidelines

    1) It is very rare that we can use an individual photo in the yearbook because we want to include as many kids as possible. Please upload group shots instead.

    2) Please don't upload duplicates or videos! Uploading multiple versions of the same photo or a video slows down the system and creates more work for our yearbook committee.

    3) All kids must go to Greenbrier. At Back to School Bash, for example, we have a lot of middle school alumni present, which is amazing, but they shouldn't be featured in the yearbook.

     

    NOTICE: These events are solely sponsored by the PTA. School staff may not be present. Please direct all inquiries or concerns to the sponsoring PTA (d25greenbrierpta@gmail.com)

    It's hard to believe that we are here at our final blog post. This year has been busy, filled with fun, learning and growth. I truly appreciate all of your support of our Greenbrier community.

    As we close out this chapter, we say goodbye to a few members of our team. Ms. Bella Johnson, Ms. Kendall Braun, and Mr. Eddie Swanson. Our dedicated EC TAs are moving on to new adventures. We are grateful for all they have done for Greenbrier and wish them the very best.

    After June 11th, teachers will no longer be checking their email. They return on August 18th. If you have an emergency, please contact me or the District office.

       Have a great summer,

                                            Donna

    FYI: Future Band Opportunities at Greenbrier
    This 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

    Teacher Appreciation Week

    For many years, the PTA has found ways for students to express their appreciation to their teachers. This year, we are putting together a video on the Momento app for every staff member of the school. Each class is assigned 3-4 staff members to say thank you to; we have amazing volunteers that are going to record students' messages during recess for their assigned staff members. However, if your student(s) would like to send a video to anyone NOT assigned to them, you can use the attached list to record a video and upload it to the Momento app. For example, if your student is in Mrs. Pelczynski's class and would like to make a video for Mrs. Solak, you can find the link on this page. 

    SHARE YOUR VIDEOS HERE!
