From the Principal's Desk
In honor of the 20th anniversary of the events of September 11th, our GWE staff and students made cards to honor OUR first responders, the Greenwood police. Every person in the station had something special made by our GWE students: the chief, captain, clerk, officers, and detectives. Our hope is to instill in each of our students the messages of heroism, service, and pride.
THANK YOU to all of our first responders, health care workers, and veterans. We honor you and your service!

Monthly Wellbeing Minute
As part of the district's strategic plan to support and highlight mental wellbeing, the district Educational Therapists are creating a "Monthly Wellbeing Minute." Please take a look!
Mental Wellbeing Minute from your District Educational Therapist
SEL (social-emotional learning) is an approach to learning that supports all students but is particularly inclusive to support students that have experienced trauma. Each school strives to have a reliable learning environment where students can:
Develop meaningful relationships with others
Feel supported and connected
Explore their strengths and identities
Exercise their agency (decision making)
Have access to mental health supports

Schools: LSW, SPE, GWE
Kristin is particularly passionate about providing affirming services for individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also provide individual/group therapy for students struggling with anxiety, depression, and family issues. I can help connect students/families to community resources (food, housing, employment, etc).
