This year has definitely been one for the books. From mask wearing to social distancing, we have made it through one of the most challenging years yet. This year the Middle School students were unable to do a live theatre production. This was tough on the students, as we have so much talent just waiting to be showcased. We did, however, have a small group of students write their own monologues, direct and act in them; as well as design their own sets and costumes. This was an amazing opportunity for those involved and I am so proud and thankful to have been a part of it!
Lately I have had many students asking if we will be able to do a live theatre production next year, and the answer is yes! Although I am still reading through scripts to finalize the production, I am already making plans for the Fall. Once we jump into the production we only have 2 months to work. It takes a lot to plan a production and I thought it would be great to get a head start. Due to Covid there will be many regulations and restrictions prohibiting us from certain forms of income that help make these shows such a success. With that said, I would like to announce our Middle School Drama Club will be selling Norwex from June 15th through June 22nd!
This is not only an amazing opportunity for the Drama club to earn the total commission of the proceeds (35% of sales), but to help save the environment. Norwex’s mission is to drastically reduce the amount of chemicals in the home, something I feel is very important. I will host a zoom meeting on June 17th at 6pm. I will provide live demonstrations of the products as well as answer any questions you may have. The following links provide information about Norwex and the products. To place an order, click the shopping link below. The items will be shipped directly to your home.
Tess Fitzmaurice became the Section 2 (Group 4) champion on Saturday, June 5th at Gloversville in the steeplechase. Tess ran a 7:19.96 which also earned her a new school record. Great job Tess. You are Spartan STRONG!
The Greenville varsity baseball team will be hosting Cohoes on Tuesday, June 8th for a sectional game at 4:00pm. Good luck boys.
GCSD will be holding a Ride & Drive Event on July 12 & 13th from 8-1pm. If you are 21 years of age or older, this is a great opportunity to sit in the driver's seat, drive a school bus on our campus while a licensed CDL driver instructs you. The District provides FREE training to assist you in acquiring your CDL license. To sign up or inquire additional information, call (518) 966-5070 Ext. 461 or 463. View flyer @ https://5il.co/tk0s
