The community celebrated the Greendale Marching Band's upcoming appearance at the Rose Parade with a special celebration on Saturday afternoon in the gym at GHS. The band performed the music from its fall field show, Snow Angel, and the selection it will perform on New Year's Day in the 5.5 mile parade in Pasadena, California. Standby for details and television broadcast information on the best way to see our students perform in the parade! Thanks so much to EVERYONE who brought coloring books to donate to Shriner's Hospital in California, and to our entire community for its outstanding support of the fine arts in Greendale.

Local author DJ Slater visited GHS recently to speak to Ms. Hussa's Flex and Creative Writing classes. Mr. Slater talked about the process of becoming a published author, shared a bit about his book, and led students in some writing exercises. It was a fantastic experience! Many thanks for sharing your expertise with our students!
In honor of World Kindness Day, Mrs. Korpal and Mrs. Novakovich's first grade students brought a special surprise to the College Park secretaries.

"Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for helping when my belly hurts."
"Thank you for helping with my tooth."

For the third consecutive year, College Park fourth graders coordinated a sock drive in October. Creatively named "Socktober," these Panthers create announcements and deliver them to the school. Students set a goal to collect, count newly donated socks over the lunch hour, add them to the total, and determine the number of socks left to reach their goal. The donations are delivered to those in need through St. Ben's Community Meal Program and Capuchin Community Services, in partnership with St. Mary Parish in Hales Corners. This year, the fourth graders collected a total of 1,067 pairs of socks! To date, our students and families have donated 3,160 pairs for people in need.
Thanks to all who supported this project!
