Today we want to give a BIG shout out to the incredible paraprofessionals who support our students and staff every single day at Greene County Middle School!
Please help us recognize and thank Misty Brase, Mandy Sowers, Heidi Miller, Sarah Nicholson, Anna Pound and Naptali Hoyt!

The following students participated in the ICDA Central District Honor Choir last Friday: Delaney P., Estella K., Clarissa R., Misha R., Tayleigh T., Mya W., Aidan D, Jonah G., Grace H., Samantha P., Becca S., Mila S., Abi S., Quincy R., Ezra W., and Nora K. These kids were selected based on musical skill and behavior. At the event, auditions were held for small-group parts, and Greene County students were among those selected- Sam P. in the 5/6 choir and Mya W., and Misha R., in the 7/8 choir!
Over spring break, many of the Greene County 6th grade students chose to participate in a reading challenge created by Mrs. Gerzema and sponsored by Chirp. Thanks to the kind donations of t-shirts, cups, gift cards, and tumblers by Chirp, these dedicated students walked away with some pretty sweet prizes for reading over the break. Way to go, kids, and thanks again, Chirp!
