Yesterday LTC Michael Hutchinson visited Ms. Carlton’s English classes to talk about his experience serving in Afghanistan as a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces. After reading the book “Ground Zero,” curious 7th graders were left with questions that only someone who lived in Afghanistan for 15+ years could answer. That’s when Ms. Carlton made the call to LTC Hutchinson. LTC Hutchinson- Thank you for your service, and for coming in to talk about your experience overseas and answer the many questions our classes had.

Greenville students are doing a little good in the world this holiday season. Ms. Conley worked with middle and high school students to create handmade cards to give to Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., a nonprofit that provides support for mothers who have children serving active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. The cards will be included in care packages that the organization sends to veteran and active duty military personnel. Thank you to all the students who volunteered their time to make this happen.

Ms. Conley, the MS/HS Library Media Specialist, had Mr. Morelli's English class take part in "Book Speed Dating" as a way to introduce students to books they otherwise might not be exposed to. Students sit at a table in front of one of four menus. Every three minutes they switch tables and use the book that corresponds to their menu to fill out a graphic organizer. After reading the first few pages and checking out the cover, students can make an informed decision about their opinion on the book by answering questions like "is this a book you could be interested in?" "how did the author pull you in?" Students experienced six different categories of books: short stories, sci-fi and fantasy, realistic fiction, verse novels, mystery and suspense, and historical fiction. They were also given a book mark to write down books of interest to them. Some of the books were so good - we have a waiting list for them!
