Mrs. Lohr's 2nd-grade class has been having a blast growing plants from seeds. The students have shown their green thumbs, caring for their little pots with water, sunlight, and lots of love. They've been so excited to see the tiny sprouts pop up and grow bigger each day. The classroom is starting to look like a mini garden, and everyone’s super proud of how well their plants are doing. It's been a fun way to learn about nature and how things grow!
Miss Garber's 5th Grade Science students got to share their Genius Hour research projects with their classes today!

Congratulations to our P20 presenters!!! 74 of our 8th-12th graders traveled to West Virginia University this past Thursday to present their research projects that they designed, created, & analyzed throughout this school year. Each group of presenters did an amazing job! Thank you to The Clark Opportunity Foundation for making this event a reality and for WVU for hosting us. This experience is greatly valued and appreciated for many reasons. It allows our students an insight into research, to practice public speaking(answering questions from WVU professors), and exposes them to a university including what a lecture hall may look like.
The day ended by celebrating their efforts with yummy food and the opportunity to watch the WVU baseball team take on one of the last games of their season (WVU ended their season as the Big 12 Regular Season Champions).
Beckett Blouir and Hailey Courtwright were recognized in Harrisburg for their poster submissions to this year's Lyme Disease Poster Contest. Beckett placed First and Hailey placed Third. Way to represent West Greene!
The 6th grade students went on an overnight trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania this past Thursday and Friday. Students had the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of many well known and unknown Americans that shaped the history of our nation. Some of the places they visited and experienced were: The Shriver House Museum, Union soldier presentation, Cyclorama, Visitors Center Museum, Eisenhower House and Farm, Gettysburg Battlefield, and Gettysburg National Cemetery. They learned how the battle impacted the lives of Americans in 1863 to the present day. There are too many historic places visited to list out singly. Some of their favorites were Devil’s Den, Little Round Top, Pennsylvania 140th memorial marker(Greene County Boys), the cannons, all the pink in President & Mamie Eisenhower’s farmhouse, the Confederate sniper’s nest at the Shriver House, and Hickory Bridge Farm Restaurant. The trip was organized by Mr. Polander and Mrs. Richardson. They would like to sincerely thank the school district, chaperones and community sponsors for their support in making this trip possible.
We hope to see you at the West Greene Greenhouse tomorrow for these sales!
A group of WG Jr/Sr High School students visited Ryerson Station State Park on 5/9/25 for an Environmental Education field trip. Students filled raised beds, planted native wildflower seeds, played Animal Tracks Bingo, and identified various animals based on their scat! In addition to hike around the park office to discuss an upcoming stream restoration project and local wildlife, the trip concluded with a hike on Polly Hollow Trail to view native versus invasive vegetation and see the renovated campground.
