📚Read Across America Week Day 2
"So what we’re gonna do now is take it back….wayyyyy back!”
•Decades Day at GES•
Our Black History Wax Museum came to life today in third grade! After doing biographical research, students dressed up as their favorite person from history and presented an autobiography to all those who came through the “museum”.
So many smiles from parents and grandparents as our students shared their knowledge about astronauts, scientists, athletes, and the list goes on… So proud of these amazing students!

📚Happy Read Across America Week!
Today was “Read My Shirt Day” and we read lots of messages printed on tees. Reading is a gift!
The GES Eagle Mascot LOVED reading everyone's shirts today for Read Across America Week!
Read Across America Day one in Ms. Bakewell's 2nd grade class! They had a volunteer reader who just so happened to be Ms.Bakewell's cousin!! She zoomed the class and read “If You Give a Pig a Party”. 📚🎉🐷

Good evening Greenwood families! We have another busy week around GES, so let's take a look! This week is Read Across America Week, a special week that we celebrate our love for reading. This week is a Spirit Week and students can dress casually as long as they are participating in the special dress. A flier went home last week, but here's a brief rundown. Monday is "Read a t-shirt" day, Tuesday is "Decades day," Wednesday is "Crazy socks day," Thursday is "Crazy hair or hat" day, and Friday is "Wear animal print or a shirt with an animal on it day." Please remember that students may not wear jeans with rips, holes, or tears in them. We are also excited to announce that the Book Fair is here! It will be open all week from 9:00-3:00. On Tuesday third grade is hosting a learning exhibition at 1:30. It will prove to be a great time so come on out! We have Parent Teacher Conferences from 4:00-6:00 on Thursday. There will be no after school tutoring on Thursday because of Parent Teacher Conferences. The Book Fair will open that evening too! What a great way to celebrate our love for reading! Finally, we will have Snack Cart on Friday and midterms will be coming home. Please help make sure your student has all missing work turned in. Thank you all for your continued support and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Thank you to the fifth grade families that made it out to our grade level Snack N' Share event this week. It was so great to hear families share that they enjoyed learning upcoming skills and strategies from our teachers.
We are so excited to introduce you to...______!

It's a beautiful day today and our GES students sure are loving the fresh air!! ☀️
2nd and 3rd graders in Mrs. Brumley’s Art classes recently completed abstract paintings done with acrylic paint on canvas. Students used inflated balloons to “paint” their flowers and some students used sharpies to add details.

Good evening Greenwood families! I first want to thank our second-fourth grade families that made it out to our grade level Snack N' Share events this past week. It was so great to hear families share that they enjoyed learning upcoming skills and strategies from our teachers. Fifth grade families, fear not because your Snack N' Share event is coming up this week! Please remember that school is closed on Monday in observance of President's Day. Tuesday is our McTeacher Night, which will be held at the Princess Anne McDonald's from 5:00-8:00. This is an opportunity to see our staff working at McDonald's, receive a math and reading placement of activities, as well as some reading and math tips for at home. McTeacher Night is also a school fundraiser because McDonald's donates a portion of their sales back to GES. It will be a great night and we hope to see you there! That evening is also our School Board meeting at the Board of Education, which starts at 6:00. Wednesday is School Spirit Day so students can rock their GES shirts with pride! On Thursday fifth grade will be having a learning exhibition from 10:00-10:30 and their Snack N' Share which starts at 10:45. Fifth grade families come on out for a time of learning for students and families. We will close out the week with our PBIS incentive, Snack Cart, and free casual day for students on Friday. Thank you all and enjoy your weekend!
