Members of the Student Government attended Student Forum, held at Range Resources Southpointe. They excitedly listened to Pittsburgh Pirates Game Host, Joe Klimchak, talk about his successes as an adult by setting goals and following his childhood dreams. The students were active listeners and ask several great questions. When debriefing with the students after the event, they all agreed that it was an amazing session and they are happy they were given the opportunity to attend.

ATTENTION: Class of 2026 (Juniors)
I have talked to many of you, and I have been emailing you. West Greene is working the Tricada Wrestling Tournament that will be hosted January 2-4th, 2025. We need workers (students and parents) and donations - 12 oz bottled pop, 12 oz Gatorade, granola bars, protein bars, fruit, breakfast items, etc.
Please try searching for "Tricada" in your email. If you have not yet received an email - please reach out to me at wrightk@wgsd.org.
This should be a huge fundraiser for the class, but we need all hands on deck.
Thank you.
Students in grades 4th through 6th had a lot of fun with an escape room in library class this week for their version of Stories by the Fireplace! Students worked hard to solve different types of puzzles in order to find codes and "escape." Congratulations to all of the groups that were able to solve all 5 puzzles and complete the escape room!
Students in grades kindergarten through 3rd had a lot of fun with Stories by the Fireplace in library class this week! There were many Christmas and winter stories shared. Some of the 2nd and 3rd graders even read their stories to their classmates!
The third grade students learned about the Icelandic tradition of a Book Flood that occurs each year on December 24. After learning about how people in Iceland gift books and read them on Christmas Eve, they had a chance to read holiday and winter-themed books by candlelight.
A big thank you goes out to everyone that made the Scholastic Book Fair at the elementary a success this week! Many students were able to walk away from the fair with books to read. Additionally, another big thank you goes out to everyone in the community that donated money for students to shop the fair! Thanks to all of the community support, 40 students were able to shop for books that would have otherwise left empty-handed!
Tis the season! What's cooking in Food and Nutrition? Updates to come!
