District Leadership made surprise visits at schools and offices across the District today to celebrate this year’s Stars of Public Education Honor Court. The recognition program and event honoring ACPSD’s brightest stars first began as our annual Teacher of the Year celebration, and has grown to incorporate recognition of our very best New Teachers, Principals, Assistant Principals, Classified Staff, Professionals, and District-Level Administrators. With its origin in mind, we’ll begin our first Stars of Public Education Honor Court announcements with Teacher of the Year.

Congratulations to our Teachers of the Year Honor Court!

This week our Dragons are attempting to break a world record! Last year, 752,632 cup stackers around the world (including Greendale students) spent at least 30 minutes stacking to set a new record. In PE, we are working to break that world record again. We learned some cup stacking techniques last week and are putting those into practice with a variety of stations for our world record attempt. At the end of the week, Coach Browder will submit the number of students in 5K through 5th grade that successfully complete 30 minutes of stacking.
