Lunch with a Loved One
Our school was absolutely thrilled to welcome parents to "Lunch with a Loved one" Valentine's Day event! The excitement was felt throughout the hallways as students eagerly prepared to share this special day with their families. Classrooms were filled with laughter, handmade decorations, and heartfelt crafts, all created with love. 💚
5th graders at Greenwood Forest Elementary organized and executed a supply drive at school for a local animal shelter. Students and staff contributed to the success of this drive. We are so proud of our Grizzlies!

Family Engagement Events
Title 1 | Spring open House
During our recent Spring Open House, we were pleased to host our Title I Meeting, where parents and guardians had the opportunity to learn more about how our school supports student learning. The meeting covered important topics such as curriculum, academic resources, and how Title I funding is used to enhance instruction. Families also received information on ways to stay involved and partner with teachers to ensure student success.
We appreciate everyone who attended and engaged in these valuable discussions!
