Dear Gator Families,

It is so great to see our Parent Volunteers helping our teachers and our families eating lunch with their Gators. The school year is already in full swing and we are enjoying every day together - even in this Texas HEAT!

I'd like to take this time to encourage all of you to consider donating to our GTE Annual Fund. It is a monetary donation that is made through the Humble ISD Education Foundation where 100% of what is donated comes directly to Greentree. We'll be sending more information home as the month progresses and our Annual GLOW Party will be held on Thursday, Sept 21 from 6:00-7:30. We'd love to see you there!

Take care,

Ms. Rodriguez

Attention 4th and 5th graders:

Are you interested in participating in Battle of the Books? We will be meeting on Monday afternoons until 4:30 in the library.

4th and 5th graders interested in sampling this club can come pick up a note from Mrs. Rydell in the library. We are going to read the book Hummingbird by Natalie Lloyd. We will meet on September 11th and September 25th and discuss the book and learn more about Battle of the Books. There is a list of 12 books to read. We will have a school competition In March and our winning team will go to the district competition in April.

Following these sample meetings, I will take applications for members the week of September 25th and announce our teams on September 29th.
