Volunteer
Greenbriar West’s annual carnival is fast approaching. The
carnival will be held Saturday, March 13th from 12:00 – 4:00 pm. The carnival
is always a wonderful event for the children, but we need a lot of volunteers
for it to be a success.
We will be handling volunteers differently this year. Classes are not
going to be assigned a game. Please sign-up for what time you would like to
work and you will be assign you to a carnival activity. Please note your first and
second choices and we will do our best to assign you to that time slot. We will
contact you with your assigned activity and time. At least FIVE parent
volunteers from each Homeroom Class are needed. Indicate your child’s
teacher’s name on the volunteer form below.
Please complete the bottom portion of the volunteer form and return it to school
no later than Friday, March 5th. If you cannot volunteer for a time slot,
please donate a cake for the Cake Walk or a baked good for the Bake Sale.

Food Drive Moved from December to February
In response to a request from our local community food bank (WFCM), the GBW SCA will hold its annual Food Drive in February 2010. The supply of non-perishable foods collected during the holidays begins to dwindle by spring, and the need to replenish the stock is high. Our SCA hopes to help keep the shelves full by making this food drive our most successful ever! Look for more information after the holidays!
2010 SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE
GBW’s third annual Spelling Bee will take place in February 2010. The Spelling Bee helps students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them throughout their lives. The Bee is open to students in Grades 3-6. In addition to interested spellers, we will need volunteer parent coaches, pronouncers, and judges. If your child is interested in participating, or you are interested in volunteering, send your name and email address, and your child’s name, grade, and teacher to Akanksha Bhute, GBW PTA Spelling Bee Chairperson, at akanksha.bhute@gmail.com. You will be added to the distribution list for any upcoming information about the Bee.
