WELCOME TO THE GREENACRES SCHOOL PTA WEBSITE! 

Welcome to the Greenacres PTA Website. The PTA sponsors many events and programs to support students, parents, and faculty throughout the year. Fundraising initiatives provide the means for the PTA to supplement the Greenacres community with technology, enrichment, and materials not in the district budget. 

Sincerely,

The 2024-2025 Greenacres PTA Executive Committee

But, what does SHINE really mean? Over the remaining months of this school year, Greenacres School will dive deeper into the meaning of each letter from our favorite acronym. As we move into the month of APRIL, we are exploring the N in SHINE, which stands for Nurture. Our Librarian, Ms.Thomas is featuring grade-appropriate books that have a special meaning on Nurture. In addition, teachers will discuss the value of nurturing with the students in class.   Here’s how parents can help! We have placed a SHINE mailbox in the main office and SHINE cards in the classrooms for students to reflect and share how they view innovation this month. Some of these cards will be announced by 5th graders during Friday announcements or displayed on the SHINE bulletin board outside the main office for all to read and share. Nurture: Practicing self-care and belonging through well-being, inclusion, diversity, and equity. Children can show Nuture by encouraging friends who are nervous about a test or performance or by showing empathy while comforting a friend who is feeling sad or listening when someone needs to talk.    TAKE OUR PTA SURVEY The PTA wants your thoughts! Too many pizza lunches?
