THANK YOU, FLIGHT CREW!
As student leaders and inspiration to all, Flight Crew students have continued to make EH Greene a better place. Students have been encouraging others and themselves to do what they can each day to become 1% better. Students nominate each other or brag on their own improvements by completing a submission form. Every other week selected winners receive prizes such as t-shirts, locker magnets, buttons, stickers, and more! Thank you Flight Crew for motivating staff and students to be the best Aviator they can be. 1% a Day is the Aviator Way!!!

KEY INFORMATION
Author Study Updates
Stuart Gibbs Author Visit
In preparation for the author visit, students have the opportunity to experience and engage with the various novels written by Stuart Gibbs on their teams. The teams at Greene are diving into various series and work of Mr. Gibbs prior to his visit.
In the upcoming weeks, teams will be holding contests to encourage students to continue reading and exploring these novels. For each book read, students will receive one entry into a raffle, taking place on every team. Once in February and once in March, one students from each team will be selected to win a copy of one of Stuart Gibbs books.
Additional school wide activities and contests will be announced in the coming weeks!
Greene School Lost and Found
This Week's Lost and Found Items
Is your child missing a hat, glove, water bottle, book, sweatshirt, etc...? Please view our Greene School Lost and Found slideshow. This is updated weekly in hopes that lost items find their homes!
Winter Conferences
February 15th
Winter in-person conferences will be held on Thursday, February 15th from 4:00-7:30 and are scheduled based on teacher/team request. If your child's teacher/team determines a need for a conference, they will be in communication directly with families to secure a time. If you do not receive communication from your child's teacher, it has been determined that there is not a need for a winter conference. As always, feel free to reach out to your child's team at any time if you have any questions or concerns or if you believe there is a specific need for a conference.

Two immunizations are required by the state of Ohio (ORC 3313.67) before the start of 7th grade. Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis booster) and Meningitis (MCV4). Your child may already have had them at their 11 year old check up. If so please obtain a copy of those immunizations. If not, please make an appointment for your students to get these two immunizations. Once you have obtained copies of TDAP and MCV4, send them to Laurie Dobrowolski RN at E.H.
