Gator Rumble Family Challenge
The challenge is on! Send a video of your Greenwood Gator leading the Gator Rumble with their family to Mr. Stein at rtstein@henrico.k12.va.us for a house point! We’ll also feature several of the videos with the most enthusiasm on our morning announcements over the next few weeks.

Hallway Music - Click HERE
We've opened up additional slots for signing up to play music in the mornings! We would love to have alumni come back and join us!
Spirit Wear Distribution Update
Last week, we sent home all available spirit wear. Currently, we are still awaiting the arrival of PJ pants and polos. We hope to have them in stock this week. Thank you for your patience.
Attendance Reminder
Missing a day of school here and there may not seem like much, but absences add up. If a student has just TWO absences a month, they'll miss:
Twenty days of school a year.
Thirty hours of important math instruction a year.
Sixty hours of reading and writing instruction a year.
An entire year of school by the end of their senior year.
