From the Principal: 2/27/23

Dear Greenwood Families,

Happy Monday!  I’ll admit that I’m writing this closer to the start of the February break week than the end, so I’ll try to limit my wild predictions about events that may or may not have occurred over the course of the week.  Let’s just say that however you spent it, I hope everyone enjoyed the time!  

All-School Meeting - 3rd Grade Hosting

Because it’s right when we come back from break, this is just a reminder that we will have our 3rd grade-hosted All-School Meeting on Monday, February 27th starting at 9:00am.  Each grade level is responsible for sharing about a positive attribute that we want our Greenwood community to embrace and embody.  We would like to invite 3rd grade parents/guardians to attend if you are able to do so.  (Seating will be up in the balcony.) 

Lost & Found - Still Time!

If your child is missing a sweatshirt, jacket, hat, or other piece of apparel, please feel free to drop by and check out the artfully-arranged table display outside the library.  We will have items laid out all week for you (or your child!) to peruse, with items remaining after Friday going to the donation bin.  

Wakefield Human Rights Commission - International Women’s Day

On March 8, 2023, the Wakefield Human Rights Commission (WHRC) will commemorate International Women's Day with a program that explores equity and feminism through a generational lens. This special program will be presented from 7- 8:30 p.m. in the Wakefield Memorial HS theater. A reception will follow.

Lunchroom Volunteers

Thank you to everyone who has given us some of your valuable time over the past few weeks!  Updated time slots are being added at the current link and now go through the end of March.

Do you have any free time between 12:00-1:15pm on school days?  Or 10:30-11:50am on early release days?  Looking for a way to help out at Greenwood?  We are finally bringing back lunchroom volunteer opportunities!  If you’d like to come in and help support students while they’re eating lunch, please see the linked Sign-Up Genius to select time slots over the next two weeks.  Single days, multiple days, one time slot, the whole lunch block…we welcome any and all helpers!

As an FYI, we will be incorporating our lunchroom volunteers into the food rescue/composting program work.  Don’t worry…it’s easy!

NOTE: You will need to have a CORI form completed before coming in for any lunch shifts - please contact Ms. Paiva about the process or to check if you have a current one on file
