Eagle Scout Project

Installation of New Tree Bench

Thank you to Jimmy Moore for installing our new custom-built tree bench!  Jimmy is a Greenbriar West ES alumnus and now a Senior attending Chantilly High School.  He and his family wanted to give back to the local community while completing his Eagle Scout Project.  He chose GBW as a perfect place to give back.  The project began when Jimmy met with principals and the GBW PTA to design the bench build. Then he coordinated with a lumber yard to have the wood donated followed by helping supervise and lead his Scout Troop 7369 to build and install the tree bench.

During school hours, GBW will be using the bench for outdoor learning and dining.  Outside of school hours, we look forward to seeing our community enjoy Jimmy's bench for many years to come. 

Thanks again Jimmy Moore and Scout Troop 7369 for giving back with your time and talents to our GBW community!

Sincerely,

Mr. Blount, Mr. Cook, and GBW PTA


Principals' Corner

Dear GBW Families, 

Mr. Cook and I hope you have a wonderful spring break!  Our students, teachers, and support staff have been working hard these last few months and we are excited for everyone to have a well-deserved break.  For those of you traveling next week, we wish you safe travels.  For those of you staying local, this is a great opportunity to schedule some day trips to visit some local museums or the public library.  We hope everyone has a relaxing, restful, and joyful time with their families.  

Mr. Blount and Mr. Cook
