Who doesn't love a friendly homeroom competition?!
Each homeroom is encouraged to get perfect attendance every day. To support this goal, Mr. Nick and Communities in Schools are sponsoring a "Missing Matters" homeroom competition. Every day that your homeroom has perfect attendance, Mr. Nick will add a letter to the phrase, 'Missing Matters." The first homeroom to spell the phrase will win an awesome prize!
Missing school matters! So let's have a great competition!
Thank you!

Join us THIS SATURDAY, September 26 from 11:00 AM--2:00 PM for Greendale Elementary's Fall Festival. (It's not at the school this year, but at Anderson's Pumpkin Patch at 13200 Chip Ridge Rd.)
Greendale hosted our annual Grandparent's Breakfast today with a large turnout. Thank you so much to our PTO for organizing and volunteering. We especially want to thank our cafeteria staff for the hard work they put into this event. Finally, we want to thank all those who volunteered to set up, decorate, and clean up in a timely manner so as not to disrupt classes.
Our fall Scholastic Book Fair is almost here, and we're in need of volunteers on September 25 (set-up day)--and then from September 28 to October 2. Please sign up for a shift (or MORE). Our ability to have a successful book fair depends on YOU! Thank you in advance.

Students tore off the wrapping paper today during our ribbon cutting ceremony for our new book vending machine! Students can earn tokens to buy books!
🦁 What a turnout, Greendale Family!
Last night, 134 students, guardians, and staff packed the GES cafeteria for our Annual Title I Meeting — and we couldn't be more grateful for the support!
We shared how Title I funding helps every Greendale learner grow in reading and math, walked through our Schoolwide Title I Plan and Parent & Family Engagement Plan, and talked about all the ways families can stay involved this year — from volunteering to joining our Parent Advisory Council.
Thank you to every family who showed up and showed out for your kids. This is what it means to be part of the pride! 🧡💛

Today was "Drivers, Dance to Drop Off!" in the car rider drop off line. With dance music setting the stage, Coach Williams dressed up as a traffic cone and enticed parents to dance their children out the door of their vehicle. A lot of fun was had and our students entered the building laughing and smiling while watching their parents and school staff "bust a move."
