Principal’s Message:
Adorable children sporting their best Halloween costumes, middle schoolers actually having fun playing Musical Chairs and other games, and all of the awesome ghoulishly-decorated booths and cars made our first ever “Trunk or Treat” a wonderful night to remember.
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to our amazing Greenspun community for their support, whether it was through donations, volunteering, or simply, just showing up. It was such a pleasure to chat with students and parents outside of the normal school day as we laughed and shared stories about our kids.
In addition, one of the most enjoyable moments for me was throwing a pie in the face of Mr. Bognot, one of the assistant principals, as students and staff stood in camaraderie and cheered me on.
Just thinking of the fun-filled night makes me smile, but it would not have been such a success without the enthusiasm and support of our Greenspun community. That is what makes Greenspun so special!!!
