Greene County Elementary Mantra
Message from the Principal
Dear Greene County Elementary Students and Families,
It has been an exciting month of September at GCE! We have been hard at work building relationships, making friends, establishing routines, taking assessments, going on field trips, and so much more! We have developed our school mantra this year: Together we grow. I continue to be impressed with the positive school and family relationships at GCE. These relationships have built a solid foundation for our teamwork this year. Thank you for sharing the gift of your children with us every day. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to serve your child or family.
Sincerely,
Audrey Hinote
