Children's Author Sue Fliess will visit Greenbriar West Elementary on March 28.  She'll talk to us about being an author, how to get ideas, how she writes her STEM and fractured stories, rhyme, read to us, and answer questions!

 

We're working with independent bookstore, Scrawl Books, to offer books for sale and signing for Sue's Author Visit. To order, please order books online by 03/18/25 at http://www.scrawlbooks.com/sue-fliess. During check-out, in the Calculate Shipping

Cost dropdown menu, choose our school. In the order comments, include your child’s name, first name(s) of who you'd like Sue to sign the book(s) for, and the teacher's name. Sue will sign them and the school will distribute books to students when they come in. *For every 10 books ordered, the school will receive a "bonus book" for the library or classroom.*

Nomination Committee Needed!

The next school year seems far away - but we need your help for the

2025-26 PTA!

We are looking for 3 PTA members to serve on the nominating committee to help identify candidates for next year’s board.

Why should you consider supporting the GBW PTA in this role?

  • Do your kids love our PTA-sponsored after-school programs and events like Spelling Bee and the I Heart Panda Dance?
  • Do you know members of the Greenbriar community who you would trust to lead all of the great programs the PTA supports for the students and teachers?
  • Have you previously served on a board or a committee, but don't have the time for a long-term leadership role right now?
  • The committee will specifically look to recommend candidates for President, 2 VP positions, Treasurer, and Secretary.

You can help ensure the continued success of the PTA by volunteering for this committee with a minimal time commitment. No previous PTA leadership experience is necessary

Here is a rough timeline of upcoming related activities:

  • March 13:  Elect the nominating committee
  • March/April: Q&A with current PTA Board
  • April 22: Present nominees for 2025-26 PTA Board
  • May 29: Hold general membership election

All members of the nominating committee must be PTA members.

Main duties include helping solicit PTA board nominees, collecting nomination applications, and helping to present nominees for election.

Email greenbriarwestpta@gmail.com if you are interested in serving on the committee by March 9.
