PTA Cereal Box Challenge Starting MONDAY! Cereal Box Donations Welcome
New for 2025! K-5 Greenbrier students are invited to participate in our first ever PTA-sponsored cereal box challenge. For the weeks of January 20 and January 27 students are encouraged to bring in unopened and non-expired boxes of cereal that the Greenbrier PTA will donate to the Wheeling Township Food Pantry. Our community's donations will culminate with a huge celebration on the morning of January 31 for students as they will get to see how many boxes we collected. Donations will be accepted starting Tuesday, January 21 and conclude Thursday, January 30. Students can bring boxes of cereal to their homeroom. Questions? Email d25greenbrierpta@gmail.com or send us a message on Facebook. If you need to drop off cereal boxes outside of school hours, email us and we can make arrangements.
