The kindergarten and second grade classes teamed up to read the story in the story stroll last week! They had to do the tree and bear yoga poses at two of the stands.
The West Greene School District would like to thank "From Alex With Love" for the generous donation of a buddy bench, which was placed on the new pickleball and basketball court. "A buddy bench is a bench placed in a school, where a child can go when they feel lonely or excluded. A child feeling the need for a friend to talk to can sit on the buddy bench. Other children or staff will recognize this as a sign that some help, support, or comfort is needed and will come to talk with the child." The pickleball/ basketball court is used by elementary and junior/senior high school students, as well as members of the community.
Kindergarten hosted their first Annual Muffins for Mom Event! Thanks to our wonderful parent support, it was a huge success! The Kindergarteners sang a Mother's Day Song to their Moms, created a bouquet of flowers writing project, a framed picture using their finger prints and we read the poem If You Give A Mom A Muffin. We enjoyed muffins and donuts with our Moms and ended the event with pictures! The Kindergarten Team would like to wish all our fantastic West Greene Moms a Happy Mother's Day!
Mrs. Fedak, her student Caleb Dane, Mrs. Bohon, and Miss Danley accompanied Mrs. Allen's class to the story stroll today. The first graders had fun taking turns to read the pages of Big Bear Hug by Nicholas Oldland!
Thank you to Mr. Bissett for getting the Lu game system up and ready for a group of hardworking third graders! They enjoyed working with their teams to play the fun games!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Hello2Hope Association, Mrs. Bissett, Ms. Carrie, and their wonderful class from West Greene had the privilege of hosting a county-wide Spring Fling Dance! The event brought together students from across Greene County, including classes led by Mrs. Christopher (Carmichaels), Mrs. Chiprich (Central Greene), Mrs. Menear (Southeastern Greene), and Mrs. Yanak (Jefferson-Morgan).
The joyful afternoon was filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable memories.
A heartfelt thank you to Jason Forbes for donating his time and talent as our DJ, keeping the energy high and the dance floor full! The beautiful balloon photo backdrop, generously provided by Balloons by Brittany, added the perfect festive touch. Special thanks also goes to Angela Horne Photography for capturing the joy of the day so beautifully.
We’re incredibly proud of Mrs. Wright’s students for their amazing work on floral arrangements, as well as hair and makeup for the West Greene students.
This event was a true celebration of community, connection, and kindness. The friendships and memories created will always be cherished. We’re excited to begin a new tradition we hope continues for years to come!
A big thank you to Jane Schrock from "The Way", for volunteering in Mrs. Stoffa's third grade classroom! Her support has made a meaningful difference for our students. Jane's husband was also a teacher at West Greene for over 40 years! We’re grateful for their ongoing commitment to our school community! 🍎📚
Sebastian Von Scio recently won 3rd place in a poster contest held by the Bradford House in Washington, PA! He competed against other students in Washington, Greene, Allegheny, Fayette, and Westmoreland counties in the middle school (grades 5-8) division. The poster had to deal with a topic in Western Pennsylvania history from 1750-1850. Sebastian chose the farmers of the Whiskey Rebellion. He worked hard on researching his topic and creating his poster, and that hard work paid off! Congratulations Sebastian!
The Aquaponics class had the opportunity to host our pre-kindergarten class last week. Our students showed them everything from feeding the fish to finding the hidden red worms that live in our media bed and compost system. The pre-kindergarten also got to have some fun with kinetic and hydrophobic sand! All students and teachers had a blast and can't wait to do it again.
Last week, Biology students put their teamwork and research skills to work debating the effects of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) . A group of students organized and structured while two other groups were either for or against GMOs, then they were asked to conduct research and tailor an argument to persuade others. During this time students practiced researching information, teamwork, and communication skills to prove their point. Each of these teams did a wonderful job taking their knowledge and skills to create a solid argument while maintaining order and being respectful to all. Great job everyone! Keep up the hard work.
Students, their family members and friends, and school faculty members gathered together to celebrate academic progress and hard work with an ice cream party today!
Congratulations Coach Simms!
It is greenhouse season! Come see us opening day! May the 4th be with you...
Mrs. Bissett and Ms. Carrie are incredibly proud of their amazing students for putting their real-world skills to the test during an unforgettable adventure in Morgantown. The class checked into a hotel, made the most of the amenities, dined like pros at a restaurant, and explored the sights around town. These hands-on experiences helped students grow in confidence and independence while creating memories they’ll carry with them for years to come.
The Aquaponics class had the opportunity to host the fourth grade and show them all the hard work they put in to keep our systems running. Students were able to see how we grow plants using fish in our tanks ranging from 55 gallons to 120 gallons. This experience was a benefit to the fourth grade and the high school students as they both were able to demonstrate what they have learned this year.
