April calendar updates! A 3-hour early release is scheduled for Monday, April 8. The 2-hour early release initially scheduled for Thursday, April 25, has been canceled.
Please check your child's folder tomorrow for information regarding One School One Book for all K-5 students. Students will be reading James and the Giant Peach this year and engaging in fun activities at school like trivia and a special field trip! Families are encouraged to read this book with your child at home. Our goal is to get students excited about books, strengthen the home and school connection, and create a community of readers. Thanks!
Students can read, think, create, share, and grow when they spend time in the school library! We're celebrating School Library Month and sending a HUGE SHOUT OUT to our amazing librarians and volunteers for turning shelves of books into gateways of wonder and learning! #SchoolLibraryMonth #Read

Hello, First Day of Spring!
#FirstDayOfSpring #SpringIntoLearning
The Region IV Social Studies Fair was held on Saturday, March 16th, at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School. Participants previously won first place in their category at the school and county levels before advancing to the regional level. A total of 84 projects from 4 counties in our region competed in this year's fair. The results are available at https://5il.co/2gqpw.
Greenbrier County had 27 first-place winners, nine second-place finishers, and four third-place finishers. The first-place winners in their category, division, and type will advance to the WV State Social Studies Fair, which will take place on April 10th at the Charleston Coliseum. There, they will compete against other first-place winners from the other regions in our state.
The Social Studies Fairs provide students the opportunity to ask essential questions, recognize patterns of behavior, think critically, create solutions, predict outcomes, and draw conclusions to help them learn to solve problems.
