Childhood Leukemia & Lymphoma is a cause that's near and dear to our hearts. In the past the Greenwood School community has rallied in support of kids with cancer, and we're hoping for a strong show of support this year as well. Please join our 5th grade Kids in Community Kare and Service (KICKS) kids and send your spare coins to school the week of March 4th through the 8th. All students will have mini coin collecting boxes that they can take home. Every penny counts....help us be a positive force for "change" in the fight against cancer.
Please click here to see a flyer created by one of our KICKS students, and to here link to a podcast our students made. Their leadership and service has been inspiring, and we thank you for any support you can provide.
Kind regards,
Mr. Brad Gustafson, Principal
