Wish List for GBW Staff

It's the time of year when you might be thinking about buying a gift for a GBW staff member.  Here are some of their wish lists.

PTA

Join GBW PTA!!

Let’s achieve our goal of having 250 members of the GBW PTA!  We are currently at 247 members. The 3 classes with the highest percentage of membership will be announced as soon as we reach our 250-member goal and will receive a popsicle party.  Joining PTA doesn’t mean you have to volunteer any or at all!  Help out if you want to, when you want to, or just simply help our PTA budget out by joining for $15-$20.

Cocoa & Cookies for GBW Staff

We would CRUMBLE without them, so let's treat our SWEET staff to some yummy treats before Winter Break!

Please note what type of cookie/treat you'll be bringing in (ex: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, blondies, etc).

You may drop off items in the main office during office hours between Wednesday, Dec 11 - Tuesday, Dec 17, or before school on Wednesday, Dec 18.

Yearbook Cover Contest

Design the 2024-2025 GBW Yearbook Cover!

 

 

“Growing Knowledge,

Rooted in Kindness”

Due Date:  January 24, 2025

 

  • Submit your artwork on a standard 8 ½” x 11” sheet of printer paper.
  • Extend your artwork all the way to the edge of the paper. No white border
  • The artwork must include the following: “Greenbriar West Elementary”, “2024-2025” and the theme “Growing Knowledge, Rooted in Kindness” in bold, clear, and neatly done lettering.
  • All TEXT must be kept within the 7 ¾” x 10” interior parameter of the paper. This includes your name.
  • Write your name neatly in the lower right corner (within the interior parameter).
  • Complete the entry form at the bottom of this flyer and attach it to the back of your artwork.

 

You can use markers, crayons, paint, or colored pencils, but outline your letters and images in black, like a coloring book, so that they stand out.  Bold and bright colors work best; light, soft colors do not always print well.  No 3-D artwork.

 

Please ensure that your artwork depicts the theme – if it does not it will not be considered. There will be one winner for the front cover, one winner for the back cover, with runners-up placed throughout the yearbook.

 

All entries must be turned in by January 24, 2025.  No entries will be considered after that date.  Place artwork in the box marked “Yearbook” in the GBW office. Winners will be announced on WGBW the following week.
