Principal’s Message:
As we wrap up the first nine weeks of school, I want to take a moment to give a shout out to an amazing and truly remarkable group of students at Greenspun Junior High School.
We are incredibly proud of the 125 students who earned Straight A’s, the 263 students who received an O for Outstanding Citizenship, and the 37 students who earned the Student of the Quarter Award during the first nine weeks. Making all A’s across six subjects, earning top marks in citizenship, and being recognized for a special award by your teachers is no small feat—it takes commitment, focus, and a strong work ethic every single day.
All too often, we spend time focusing on negative behavior and not enough time celebrating the students who show up every day and do the right thing. Today, I want to flip the script. To our students who push themselves academically and model positive behavior in every classroom: I see you, I appreciate you, and I celebrate you!
Thank you for your dedication to your schoolwork and for being such positive role models in our school community. Your high level of classroom performance and your respectful, kind demeanor do not go unnoticed.
To our parents and guardians—thank you for the support you give your children each day. And to our Straight A, Outstanding Citizenship recipients, and Students of the Quarter—congratulations! You are a shining example of what excellence looks like at Greenspun!
