West Greene School District

On Friday, March 6th West Greene's Science Club had the opportunity to host the second annual Greene County STEM competition where students from each of Greene County's district compete. This year students were tasked with researching local waterways, flying drones to collect water samples and constructing a Covered Bridge within a given amount of time. The day was filled with smiles, problem-solving, learning and fun! Congratulations to Central Greene, as they took home this year's trophy! Thank you to Greene County Association of School Retirees for their support to make this competition a possibility and we look forward to next year's event at Carmichaels!!

The elementary celebrated Read Across America last week. We had several guest readers that stopped by and exciting activities were held with different grade levels. Kindergarten and First grade had Buddy reading together. All the students got to read to a friend. We are also continuing our Book Madness throughout the month of March. Students get to vote for their favorite book. Thanks to everyone that helped make this week so special. Keep on Reading!

Mrs. Shannon's 5th grade Science Classes used the Prisms VR Tool to expand their learning of Earth and the Sun. This module allowed the students to virtually see how or if seasons happen in different parts of the world depending on how the Earth's orbits around the Sun affects the places throughout the world.

West Greene School District will be dismissing school early due to the potential for flooding. Student dismissal will begin at 1pm. Please notify the appropriate office if you need to make changes to your student's normal routine.

All after school activities and practices are cancelled.

West Greene took three elementary teams and two middle school teams to the Greene County Reading Competition yesterday at Waynesburg University. While none of the teams placed in the top three in their category, all of the students worked hard, read many books, and studied intently for the past few months! This hard work was shown by some teams earning well over 100 points for answering questions correctly (each correct answer was worth 3 points)! There was a lot of effort, teamwork, and reading by West Greene readers!

4th grade had a very special visitor on Tuesday, local wildlife biologist Jade Renner! Thank you, Jade, for sharing your adventures and doing your best to inspire future scientists. Exposing children to a variety of career paths is extremely important. Students need to know that if they have a passion. there's likely a profession out there in which they can make a living doing what they love. Jade is the perfect example of what happens when you work hard and chase your passion!
