September 2013

And so it begins.
WELCOME! To all of you returning to Greendale Elementary, whether student, parent, staff or volunteer. And a SPECIAL WELCOME to all of you new to Greendale Elementary Community School! Greendale Elementary is a wonderful environment in which our children can learn and grow. As parents, we have the opportunity to support our childs learning not only by helping and encouraging them at home, but by being an active participant in their learning environment. This can be done simply by being aware of whats happening at our school, providing input and ideas, volunteering, or just getting to know other parents and staff. The Parents Advisory Council (PAC) in Greendale is made up ofYOU! We encourage you to be curious and come to our first meeting on Thursday, September 12 at 7pm at Michelle Dick`s house (5553 Blackburn Rd) for an informal Dessert Night. You can sit and listen, provide input or raise your hand we dont mind just come on out!
