Greenbrook Elementary School

Hello Greenbrook Gator Parents!

What a WONDERFUL day for FIELD DAY today.

Thank you to the PTO for the amazing Field Day shirts for everyone! The two colors make identifying the teams so easy and the design was fabulous!

Thank you to all of the volunteers - we could not do this day without you!

The end of the year is near! Last day of school is June 27th.

Early Release Days are June 25, 26 and 27.

Coming up:

Spring Book Fair, June 13-19

Gator Gathering, June 18, 6-7:30

5th Grade Graduation, June 25, 10 AM

Dr. Jodi Mahoney

Principal

The book fair is coming! Our last fair of the year opens next Friday, June 13 and will close at the end of the school day on Thursday, June 19. All classes will go to the fair during their library special or research block, starting with Friday classes. Please be sure to either create an eWallet for your child, or send them with cash in an envelope or plastic baggie - baggies work better as fair volunteers can fill them with change and seal them so nothing gets lost. Please keep in mind that Scholastic requires tax to be paid on all items, so please include a little extra money than the total value of the items your child is looking to purchase). The book fair will be open all day every day, so students who forgot or didn't bring money, or who were absent on their scheduled day, can visit the fair anytime to shop. Finally, parents can shop with their children on our parent night, which will be held on Wednesday, June 18, from 6-7:30 during our Gator Gathering. Happy reading!

On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Matt from the South Brunswick Public Library visited Greenbrook to get our Gators excited for summer reading! This summer's challenge theme is Color Our World. Check the attached flyer for details on how to participate in the challenge; students can keep a reading log on Beanstack and win prizes and free books. The best part is, as they read they can be entered to win a grand prize!! Mr. Matt has also included a calendar of events happening at the public library throughout the summer. See you at the library, and happy reading!!

If you are moving this summer, please be sure to contact Pushpalatha Flint (pushpalatha.flint@sbschools) to arrange for transfer cards and collection of technology.

All students who have district chromebooks will keep them over the summer. Students are responsible for their chromebooks and chargers and will be expected to return to school with them in the fall.

If your student is having tech issues with the device, please complete this form so that it can be addressed.

If you have lost the charger, you’ll need to purchase a replacement through MySchoolBucks.

If you are moving out of the district, devices must be returned to the district prior to the last day of school.

Do you have any Greenbrook Spirit Wear that no longer fits your family members? Consider donating gently used items back to Greenbrook so that we can share them as needed! Just send them to the office c/o Aileen Beck!

Our new sound system in the gym has been installed and will be ready to use for Graduation. Thank you to all of you who supported our BOOSTERTHON over the last 2 years to make this happen.

As the weather continues to improve and we have more outdoor recess days, please have students wear SNEAKERS every day. We are seeing lots of crocs and sandals. Sneakers are the safest option!

Firefly Camps will offer a $100 discount to Greenbrook Families. Upon registration, please make a note or contact the office to let them know you are a Greenbrook Family. (www.fireflycamps.com)
