Dear Greenwood Families,
Happy Monday! Although we have a short week ahead of us, there will be, as always, a lot happening in classrooms and around the building before we all take a short pause to enjoy time off with family and friends. Whether you’re traveling or hunkering down, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
Early Release - Wednesday, November 24th
Our next early release day for students is on Wednesday, November 24th. There will be no lunches served on that day, and all students will be dismissed at 11:55am.
No School - Thanksgiving Break
The Wakefield Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, November 25th and Friday, November 26th for Thanksgiving Break. This applies to all school buildings and offices.
PE Update
Mr. Hennessey, our Physical Education, Health, and Wellness teacher, would like to update Greenwood families about what students have been working on during this first part of the school year. Please check out his newsletter for descriptions of PE units and some photos of students in action!
