Due to an extended power outage, the district will be dismissing students at 10:30 AM. Due to inpending weather, we will be prepared for flexible instruction if necessary. We will communicate this information to families as soon as possible.
The PSAT 10 will be administered to all 10th grade students on Wednesday, April 2nd. The PSAT 10 provides students with valuable practice for the SAT and insight into their academic strengths and areas for improvement. This year, the test will be online, so it is important that students: bring their fully charged Chromebook on the day of testing and computer charger to ensure their device stays charged throughout the test.
Please remind your student to come prepared for a successful testing experience. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the counseling office.
I'm excited to announce the arrival of our very own bee hive! Mr. Painter brought the idea to me in 2023, and after applying for the grant through Whole Foods, we were awarded an observation hive to place inside the classroom.
Thursday evening, I was able to transfer our package of bees into the observation hive and carefully place it in the classroom. For next couple of weeks, the fourth grade students will be learning A LOT about the bees and their importance in food production. I'm looking forward to visits from other grade levels as well.

Yesterday, Mrs. Bohon took a team of 5th graders to the IU1 STEM Design Challenge featuring K'Nex at Penn West California. Students had to create a prototype that addressed a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. West Greene students chose a design to deal with flooding and droughts. The students had to build their design and present their ideas to a team of judges. There were over 10 teams competing in the 4th & 5th grade division. West Greene's team did really well and only missed placing in the top 3 by half a point!

Their design held 120 grams. Great job girls!
Local author and illustrator Angie Candell also visited the third graders in the library! After reading her book, she explained what it is like to write and illustrate a book.

The third graders got to look at a variety of seeds. A special thanks is given to the WGEPO for sponsoring this activity!
