You know what? This calendar isn’t just dates. Nope. It’s stories. Real stories about kids learning stuff. About being nice. About being brave. Every time that bell rings? That’s a story. Every chat in the hall? Story. Every party? You got it – another story for our Greenwood family.
At Greenwood, school isn’t just about books. It’s about growing up. Getting smarter. Being nicer. Feeling good about yourself. This calendar? It’s more than dates on paper. It’s like a map. A map of how we all learn together. Help each other. Shine together.
From day one (so exciting!) to the last day (everyone claps!), every single moment counts. We don’t just count days here. We count memories. Good ones!
The First Day: Starting Fresh Together
First day of school? It’s party time! Well, kinda.
Kids zip up backpacks. New notebooks everywhere. The halls? They’re buzzing. Like, really buzzing!
Teachers wait with big smiles. They’re ready to welcome everyone.
Parents wave at the gates. Some look happy. Some look worried. That’s okay! Friends find each other again. Laughs fill the air.
Everyone feels it – nerves mixed with “this is gonna be great!”
By Friday? Greenwood’s alive! The lunchroom’s noisy. Classrooms sparkle. The playground? Full of laughs.
Here we go – new adventure time!
