Valentine's Day
Valentine's parties are scheduled in elementary classrooms for February 13. Just like our Halloween parties, we will not serve or use food in any crafts or games. Instead, we will focus on games and activities. Room reps should double-check with their classroom teachers to verify the set up and start time. If your child passes out Valentine's cards to other students, the cards cannot have any candy or food attached. Non-edible trinkets such as pencils, erasers, stickers, etc., are great alternatives. Goodie bags filled with trinkets or candy are not allowed. We greatly appreciate our room reps and volunteers who organize and provide fun Valentine's experiences for our students.

PTA Cereal Box Challenge Starting MONDAY! Cereal Box Donations are 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?
