Embark on an extraordinary lunchtime experience where adults engage in a Q&A session, delving into thought-provoking discussions led by experienced educators. Meanwhile, students are in for an unforgettable meal as they connect with inspiring alumni student house leaders, sharing stories, gaining insights, and forging meaningful connections.  


During lunch, there will be a special event in Lecture Hall 1 from 12:15 - 12:45 PM where attendees can learn about starting sports teams specifically designed for elementary school students during the upcoming school year. This initiative aims to provide students with an opportunity to participate in sports and experience the benefits that come with it.  At the chew and chat, important information such as specific dates and sign-up procedures for registering in the one-day tournaments will be shared. These tournaments are anticipated to be among the most exciting and memorable events of the school year. We believe that sports can go beyond mere physical activity and serve as an extension of the classroom. They provide another avenue for reinforcing the values and principles taught within the school's curriculum. By participating in sports, students have an opportunity to apply and embody these values in a different context.  Over the past seven years, Greenwood has gathered substantial evidence and artifacts that demonstrate the positive impact of sports on student engagement, attendance, and discipline! Join the fun this year!
