Valentine Ground Breaking Families,
We had a super great Family Night this evening with our families: thank-you for your support! We have had an additional update this evening for our Ground Breaking that we need to share with our families:
We will need to move the Celebration to the Harrisville Cabin. We haven’t officially closed on the property and we don’t want to bring liability to the owner by having our celebration on the property. The good news is this will give us more opportunity for our activities that we originally planned for our kids. So….
· Masters of None, a fun local band, takes the “stage” at 9:50am
· 10:10am our board chair, city officials and our developer will have some remarks and recognitions
· GW t-shirts will be for sale in many sizes to fit your whole family *$10*
· A special art piece- we want all of our students to help with. We will be hand-stamping a tree mural of our kids’ hands for them to sign and for us to hang up in our school, remembering our Ground Breaking Day!
· 2 Liter Bottle gardens with Garden Crew: Bring your 2 Liter bottles and we will have the soil and seeds for planting .
· It may be beautiful weather for us to have some activities outside- there are picnic benches and a park for the kids to play.
Come join us on your Valentine’s Day. We love you and want to celebrate the growth of our school together with the families that support us!

Ground Breaking Families:
Welcome to our new families, and this week to our first 4 GreenWood teachers!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Our Interview Panel met with these individuals this week as part of our interview process. I am super excited to have them join our GreenWood family. Teachers are the most integral part of our GreenWood mission and I am confident that these four will set the stage for the additional teachers and staff that we hire on to build GreenWood from its beginning. Two have Masters Degrees, one is from Wisconsin working in Environmental Education, one is stationed in Japan, and all four are passionate about GreenWood and building our school for your students! We will get bios up soon!
SO much going on with GreenWood this week! Are you feeling the buzz? This is getting exciting and we need your help!
Ground Breaking: This is going to be so fun! We have a big morning planned, Masters of None takes the “stage” at 9:50am. At 10:00am our board chair, city officials and our developer will have some remarks and recognitions, and then it is time to PARTAY!!! We will have pinecone crafts, recycled 2L bottle gardens. GW t-shirts for sale for the whole family for $10, and a special art piece that we want all of our students to help with. We will be hand-stamping a tree mural of our kids’ hands for them to sign and for us to hang up in our school, remembering our Ground Breaking Day! Our Gardening Crew is working on supplies, but you can help us too: Please help us by bringing empty 2L bottles, scissors, and serrated knives to help us make our gardens.
