"Paws to Do Good!"

Greenwood's 1st Annual Community Service Night is Tuesday December 3rd from 5:30 - 7:00 pm.  This is an opportunity for you and your family to pause from the hustle-and-bustle of life and come together to serve others in our community.  You'll be working alongside fellow Greenwood Grizzly families, so we hope this is a meaningful time of service for our school community!  If you would like to make a donation to help invest in getting the "Paws to Do Good" event started, please make checks payable to the Greenwood PTA and note it is for the Community Service night.  Volunteers are also needed to make this a successful evening.
