K-6 Rock Wall Climbing Unit
Coach McGuirk and Coach Brophy continue a rock climbing unit that was started in 2005-2006. The K-2 students recently climbed and the 3-6 students will climb after the Thanksgiving break. The unit is a way of teaching safety, cooperation and responsibility, while allowing students to develop self confidence as they venture out of their comfort zone and “climb” to new heights! Students are taught spotting techniques and the value of being a good spotter to their classmates. The unit is taught in the fall and in the spring allowing students the chance to climb twice a year.

Morning Program Returns!
Through the creative talents of our elementary staff, Morning Program has grown and developed into a program that is both unique to the Greenwich Primary School and important to students, faculty, staff, and our Greenwich community.
The Mission of the Morning Program is to foster a strong sense of community among our primary students, faculty, and staff. Morning Program builds community within the school by focusing on Character Education. A character trait is introduced each month and discussed daily through morning announcements and class discussions. The morning Program is attended by all K-2 students, faculty, and staff.
We invite family, friends, and community members to join us at Morning Program, which begins at 8:30 AM on the dates listed below.
