Great to see everyone at today's PTA meeting!
Guys, if you are looking for a way to exert some energy from home for your kids, My karate school is hosting Beginner level Family classes live on Facebook every week night at 6pm. All of their content is free. Sweat it out tonight with us. Focus Family Martial Arts Academy
GOTR Update!
How liberating and empowering it is to know that emotions are neither positive nor negative, rather comfortable or uncomfortable.
*
We can all sit with 'uncomfortable' for a little while - without feeling defeated or shamed like a 'negative' feeling can make us feel -, so we learn from it and kindly move on.
*
Exploring emotions and strategies to manage them were this week's topics!
Where will GOTR take us?
Week 3: The girls have already run over 300 laps around the school!!
GOTR Update!
The Girls on the Run Greenbriar West team is rocking it! Having completed week 3 of our curriculum we have already covered topics on Visualization, Self-Talk and Finding Balance.
How many of us wish we had had a space to reflect on these life skills while growing up?
Readathon 2019 is off to a fabulous start!! More than 150 students have already setup their page and have started logging minutes.

Make sure every minute is logged!! Simply go to https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/start_session . to start a session when your child is reading!

Hey, everyone! I am the retail fundraising coordinator for GBW this year, and wanted to remind everyone to re-link their Harris Teeter VIC cards to the school(s) of your choice. They need to be relinked every year, and we currently have just 5 people tied to our school of almost 900 children. LINK IT!
Please send in your Box Tops for Education to Greenbriar West Elementary by the end of this week! The first collection period is coming to a close for the year. You may send them through your child's teacher or just bring them in to the front lobby of the school to the collection box. We will be doing a collection contest in the Spring :)
