Mrs. Kim Grimes volunteered with Miss Grace Pinto and Miss Leeann Danley to clean the story stroll stands and put a new story in the stands. The three of them worked together to put The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach in the stands. The questions and activities that go along with the story were designed primarily by Mrs. Jessica Wassil. Please stop by the story stroll to read the new book!

FFA Officer Retreat was a huge success and we are looking forward to an amazing year! Missing a couple officers this week unfortunately, but glad to have the planning and bonding time that we could have. Students have done leadership and team building exercises, program planning and goal setting, and of course a mini-photo shoot (thank you Mrs. Hackney!). Also, these students are pretty great cooks!

Kindergarten Club was a huge success this week! The Kindergarten Team coordinated a preview for their upcoming Kindergarten students of what to expect in Kindergarten. They utilized a Dinosaur theme and we met new friends, listened to a story each day, about dinosaurs, learned new songs, pretended to be paleontologists, made a special snack, worked with Playdoh to create dinosaurs, made art projects, and put together puzzles. We also adopted a pet dinosaur and got to name our adopted dinosaur.They also got to tour their new school and take a bus ride to Rogersville and back. We ended our Kindergarten preview days with lunch provided by the West Greene Cafeteria! This will make our transition to Kindergarten a smooth one! We are looking forward to a wonderful Kindergarten adventure in 2025-26 school year!

On Friday, Keystone Completers headed to Dave & Buster’s for an action-packed day of games, laughter, and team-building fun! From arcade battles to friendly competitions, the group leveled up their teamwork skills in the best way possible—through play. Congratulations to all the students for their incredible hard work and effort this year—you earned it!

Students in 4th grade recently learned about solar energy with Mrs. Bohon. Each group worked hard over the past few weeks to make their own solar oven out of a pizza box. Today, the weather was finally nice enough to put them to the test. Students used the solar ovens to cook smores!

Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown is the new book in the story stroll! Mrs. Bohon selected the book and created the activities to go along with the story. The book will be in the story stroll all summer. A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Kim Grimes for helping Miss Danley to put the new story in the stands. Please come and enjoy a book and a stroll!

Our Science Club made their way to Ryerson State Park on Wednesday to play in the rain. Our students explored the history of the park, completed a nature scavenger hunt while completing a two mile hike through the woods and identified invertebrates in our local streams. It was a beautiful day in Greene County!
