We've been very fortunate to have Mrs. Moylan come out of retirement to start the school year with us teaching Social Studies 6. It was a tough start with the loss of JoAnn Simmons, and Mrs. Moylan stepped in during a difficult time. Friday was Mrs. Moylan's last day, and we can't thank her enough! From our hiring process this fall, we are very excited to welcome Ms. Jennifer Zeh as a new faculty member teaching sixth grade Social Studies. Ms. Zeh, pronounced "ZAY," joins us with over 15 years of teaching experience. Most recently she was a 5th and 6th grade English teacher at St. Gregory's, as well as a 5th grade Humanities teacher. Ms. Zeh started her new position on Monday, and is excited for the opportunity to teach at Greenville. Welcome Ms. Zeh, and thank you Mrs. Moylan!

An amazing duo of cape-less superheroes emerged upon Greenville Middle School to show students and educators how they can spread HOPE (Hold On, Possibilities Exist!) during the school year — and beyond. Sweethearts & Heroes is a student empowerment and empathy activation team that prevents bullying and suicide. The team gave a profound, engaging presentation that called for HOPE, Empathy, and Action. The duo did an incredible job offering our students a new perspective on bullying, and how to combat it. Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it. Tom and Rick brought HOPE to our students in a unique way and showed them the importance of holding on to the possibilities that exist.

Mrs. Rauf's 1st grade students had a fun time investigating pumpkins on Halloween! They made predictions, weighed, and even counted all of the seeds inside their pumpkins. One of the pumpkins weighed 10 pounds, and had over 560 seeds! Thank you to our parent volunteers, Mrs. Albano and Mrs. Wolf, and our Reading Specialist Mrs. Carl, for leading groups through the experiment. Students had a really great time and learned a lot about pumpkins!
