🌅 The Woodlands Class of 2027 beat the sun to the quad this morning, gathering to celebrate the dawn of their senior year with Senior Sunrise!

The seniors enjoyed a pancake breakfast, posed for photos, listened to music and simply soaked in the early morning with their classmates. It was a chance to celebrate the beginning of a year that will be filled with milestones, memories and plenty of time together.

Congratulations, Class of 2027, on the first of many special moments ahead. Savor every one of them. Before you know it, Senior Sunset will be here, and graduation will be right around the corner! 🎓

What better way to start the school day than with a special guest by your side?

Throughout Greenburgh Central this morning, our schools celebrated National Dads Take Your Child to School Day! Dads and other male caregivers began the day alongside their students, dropping them off, walking them to their first classes and even taking a peek inside the classroom to see learning in action. We stopped by Lee F. Jackson, the Early Childhood Program Main Building and Highview Elementary to capture just some of this family engagement happening across our schools.

National Dads Take Your Child to School Day is a nationwide initiative that encourages and celebrates fathers and other male caregivers as active participants in their children’s educational journeys. Their presence sends a powerful message to students about the importance of showing up, staying engaged and being part of their school community.

Many thanks to all the dads, grandpas, big brothers, uncles, neighbors, moms, caregivers and community volunteers who showed up for our students and helped make this morning such a special one!

There’s a nip in the air, and it’s time for a nice, warm cup of literacy! ☕️

Throughout this cool September morning, classes at Richard J. Bailey Elementary stopped by the library, which had been transformed for the day into the “Starbooks Cafe,” for a special book tasting. With RJ Bailey Librarian and “Starbooks” head barista Ms. Hammond as their guide, students browsed tables filled with books, checking out covers and summaries before deciding which titles they wanted to sample.

Armed with a helpful pamphlet to record their thoughts, students settled in for a cozy reading session. If a book wasn’t quite to their taste, no problem! Students simply returned to the “cafe” to choose another title and give something new a try.

Book tastings provide a fun, low-pressure way to encourage reading for pleasure while inviting students to explore new genres, formats and authors. The selection for this event was made possible through a generous contribution from local organization 914 Cares, which provided more than 2,000 books for PK-8 students across GCSD.

With so many great books on the menu, this event was the perfect blend of cozy reading and literary discovery!

On this 25th anniversary, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the first responders who answered the call and reflect on the lasting impact of that day on our community, our nation and our world.

As time passes, it becomes increasingly important to preserve the memories and personal experiences of those who lived through September 11 and share them with generations who have grown up in its aftermath. At Woodlands Middle High School, Mr. Holland’s IB History HL 2 students had the opportunity to do just that as he began class by sharing his own memories of the attacks.

Like so many in our community, Mr. Holland had several personal connections to the World Trade Center, including his mother-in-law, who safely evacuated from her office in the South Tower. As he shared her story and his own experiences, students listened thoughtfully and learned not only about the events of that day, but also about the profound effects they had on our country and the world.

After 25 years, the memories remain. We will never forget the victims, their families, the heroes who responded and all those whose lives were forever changed.

Today marks one full week since school started here in GCSD! Over the past five school days, Superintendent Dr. Lorenda Chisolm visited one school each day, greeting staff, welcoming students and connecting with building leaders.

These visits were not only an opportunity to celebrate the start of a new school year, but also to gain a firsthand understanding of what is happening in each building, identify areas of need and ensure students, staff and building leaders have the support they need to succeed throughout the year.

This was a week of listening, observing and working in partnership, not only for Dr. Chisolm but for the entire school community. With the first five days of the 2026-27 school year in the books, we're looking forward to what's ahead! 🦅
