Greenwood Friends School

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Greenwood Friends School.  To help mark this special occasion, the Middle School students will paint a mural that commemorates the school's 30 years of excellence in education... 

A stunning view of moon craters half in shadow, and a display of Jupiter with two of its moons clearly visible, were among the "stars" out at Greenwood for our first ever "Starry Starry Night." Nearly a hundred people came to use hand-held telescopes and other astronomy equipment provided through a grant from The Merck Foundation.  "Ooohs" and "aaahs" from adults and children studded the warm, nearly cloudless evening.

Volleyball, music and laughter, old friends and new friends, exploring our labyrinth, and of course food, as only our school community does it, were all to be found at this year's back-to-school community picnic. Students, families, teachers, staff, friends, and supporters of Greenwood gathered on Sunday, 9 Sept., to celebrate the beginning of the school year. Thanks to everyone who helped make the event such a great success! Click on the photo or here to see more pictures.

Greenwood welcomed our youngest students and their families to our school for a visit last week. The children and parents got to meet with Barb and tour the school before preschool starts. It's hard to believe the summer's over!

It has been an exciting summer at GFS as teachers prepare for a new year and students look forward to the first day of school. As always, our teachers are making lots of exciting plans for the year, which will find students exploring...

Greenwood Friends School is excited to welcome Robert Lentz as acting head of school for the 2007-2008 school year. Bob brings 40 years of experience in classroom teaching...

Greenwood promises to become "The Astronomy School" as dreams become reality over the spring and summer.

A concrete pad will be laid on the GFS campus...

Greenwood Friends School spirit was loud and clear as students joined in the end-of-year talent show.

The annual event featured singing, skits, magic tricks, piano duets, and demonstrations of tai chi, archery, and fencing.
