Notes from the Principal

Special shout out to all of our guests who showed up and showed out for our annual Muffins with Mom event. Remember, to go from a "C" school to an "A" school, your support is not only needed for events but more importantly, academically!

March is going to be another busy month with all of the special events coming up. March is one of my favorite months of the year! Daylight Savings Time (March 9th), Spring begins (March 20th), National Reading Month Month, and so much more!

Our annual Read-a-thon and Reading Bee Competition is in full swing!

Who will be our next Mr. and Miss GES? Who be our Next Reading Bee Champion?

Please check your child's backpack for information about our Read-a-thon and Reading Bee that went home Friday, February 28th.

We are less than 40 days away from the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program (LEAP) test for grades 3 thru 5. Our teachers are working extra hard to prepare them for the upcoming test in April and May. Parents, please make sure our students are completing homework daily and are getting plenty of rest nightly. It is also extremely important that our students arrive at school on time daily. Thank you for your continued support.

Read-a-thon is here!!!

Greenbrier Elementary has decided to continue Read-A-Thon this year!

Read-A-Thon actually gets your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more. Our Read-A-Thon started Saturday, March 1st and ends March 15th. We don't want your child to miss out on all of the excitement this month. Don't forget to activate your reader's personal account page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress. We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills. We hope EVERYONE participates!

1. Activate your child’s reader account today to earn them a free dress pass.

2. Send the link to your family and friends via text, email and Facebook to make donations to encourage and motivate your reader and earn more awesome rewards and prizes.

3. Don’t forget to log your child’s reading minutes for today! 📚📚📚
