Students in Mrs. Montileone’s media class partnered with Mr. Broaddus to create a documentary in honor of Hill Hall’s 100th year celebration. Preston Davis, Hett Patel, Enzo Cricchio, Spencer White and Austin Parker-Kentner diligently worked on this project.
The documentary traces the history of Greenwood at its beginning, before Hill Hall was built, to when Greenwood moved out of Hill in 1966 to this present building. The film goes through each decade of Greenwood’s time at Hill Hall, from 1924 to 1966. Music by Loren Michael Broaddus and a reading of a passage from a 1944 Greenwood student done by Catherine Broaddus.
The film was shown at the Hill Hall 100th Celebration on October 19th. We are so proud of our student’s hard work!
We are super proud of our Girls on the Run girls for moving a mountain that they have been working towards all season - completing a 5k! The girls completed their practice 5k on Missouri State University campus last week.

The First Grade Student of the Week Rooslan Iqbal brought his dad Dr. Razib Iqbal to
school to celebrate. Dr. Iqbal is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Missouri State University. Students learned about electricity and the path it travels through to make items work by making simple circuits using batteries, wires and light bulbs.
