Posted by Donna Bingaman on 5/2/2025Teacher 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.

Posted by Donna Bingaman on 2/28/2025RamadanRamadan 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.Our amazing yearbook committee chairs are hard at work on this year's yearbook, and we need more photos to make it the best it can be. Please share any NEW photos (please do not re-upload ones you've already shared) using the links below.
Please note the guidelines below and upload your best shots by ASAP. Thank you!
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 had a lot of middle school alumni present, which is amazing, but they shouldn't be featured in the yearbook.
