Grewenow. We are Great; we are Growing!

As the end of the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to recognize and draw attention to what I truly believe makes our school, and probably every school, great. It is the efforts and work done by individuals and making a difference in the lives of others that creates our school community and thus allows us to achieve greatness. At Grewenow, we recognized those efforts, the demonstration of what we call "The Dragon Way," through a Grewenow Grams. Throughout the year, we've been chronicling the recipients of our Grewenow Grams and posting that recognition on Twitter using #grewenowgram. In addition to a few images of recent recipients, I'd encourage you to click the hashtag link above to see the faces of those Grewenow gram recipients - those who do their part to Grewenow great. Though receiving a Grewenow Gram isn't the only way we recognize the efforts of our students, it is certainly one that is meaningful to our students, and as you will see, is a source of pride for our school.

The Grewenow Spring Talent Show, featuring performers from Grades 3-5 will take place Monday, June 4th at 6:00 PM, in the multipurpose room.

Attention families of students in the Grade 4/5 choir: Mark your calendars for a choir concert on Wednesday, June 6. The combined concert featuring Grewenow and Whittier students as one ensemble will be at Grewenow at 6:00PM that day. It's going to be a wonderful musical event.

Just a friendly reminder for parents and guardians:

Now with the warmer weather, we ask that students comply with our school district's dress code which can be found on the following link:

Sports Day will be held on Thursday, June 7, from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

All students in Grades K-5 will be participating. We are looking for volunteers to help us out on this day to make it a special event for our students.

If you are interested in helping us out, look for information to come home on Wednesday, May 16. Parents, Grandparents, or older siblings can volunteer their time on this day.
Please remember that all volunteers must have a current Criminal Background Check on file with the Kenosha Unified School District. If you are unsure, please call the Grewenow Office at 262-359-6362, and we will be happy to check on this for you.
