On Thursday April 10, Greendale Elementary hosted Creative Arts Night. Fourth and fifth grade students presented a concert of jazz and blues music played on recorder, featuring improvisational soloists Sophia S, Lynnleigh H, Weston S, Sydney M, and Alyssa R. In addition, an art show was on display throughout the school featuring artwork for each student in the school.
Greendale's Creative Arts Night will be held this evening at 6pm. Please join us as our GES Lions share their artwork, music, and writing.
PTO is compiling a teacher appreciation video for Teacher Appreciation Week. If your child would like to participate, please record a 30-second video clip and email it to bsprinkle@wcs.k12.va.us. The deadline for submission is April 24.
Fifth graders participated in Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Boot Camp as part of their study of statistics. They recorded data from doing exercises, organized it, and found the mean, median, mode, and range for each data set. Who knew learning could be so much fun?!
Please plan to join us for Creative Arts Night.
Congratulations to our Greendale Lions who participated in the GES History Bowl today. Students were well prepared and provided outstanding competition for each other. Thank you to Mrs. Davenport for working diligently to prepare students for the competition.
