Greenwood Qualifies for Nationals!
We are so excited to announce that Greenwood will be represented at the NSDA National Speech and Debate tournament to be held this June in Des Moines, Iowa!
The students persisted through three days of intense competition to earn the right to attend the national tournament. Twenty-one area schools and around 330 individual competitors participated in the competition. Only the top three or four entries in each event qualify for the national competition. Tristan Khoshyomn and Mary Gabriel qualified in Policy Debate. This is the second time Tristan and Mary have qualified for nationals. Laila Ozturk qualified in Informative Speaking. We believe Laila is one of only three freshmen to qualify for nationals from our very competitive district tournament.
Additionally, Greenwood was the 2023 winner of the Ozark District Cumulative Sweepstakes Trophy. The award represents a history of success – each year schools receive points based on their participation in the district tournaments and once you win the award the school’s points go back to zero. So, the trophy represents not only current students, but Greenwood alumni as well.
Good luck at nationals! Go Jays!
Students worked diligently on their Rube Goldberg projects this week!

Student of the week Harper Popek’s mom, Amber, and her dad, Dr. Jeremy, presented interesting information to the first grade class. Student’s learned about Harper’s family and her pet Chihuahua, Mya.
Harper’s mom is a Certified Public Account at Forvis, where she is employed and also a part owner. After sharing what an accountant does each day and answering questions, the students were each given a Forvis journal for “calculating fun math problems” and then got to try using antique adding machines and calculators. Harpers dad is a Pharmacist with Evans Drug Health Mart Pharmacy and travels to several locations around Missouri. Dr. Popek shared what a pharmacist does each day then talked about what students should do if they find a pill bottle or medications. Students also learned that a pharmacist is an “educator” who talks to patients about how to take medications, administers injections, and shares wellness tips. Harper provided a tasty treat, a super-sized doughnut from Gold-N-Glaze doughnuts!
Kindergartners got to LEARN, DISCOVER, and PLAY during their field trip to the Discovery Center!

The First-Grade Helpful Hedgehogs learned about different types of rocks, read about rocks and mindnesz with Ms. Borneman in the library and painted rocks in art with Ms. Grace.
Students wrote kind messages on the rocks. Mrs. Gray's Third Grade class, first grades reading buddies, helped hide the rocks on the playground. If you find a special tock you nay keep it, take it home and create another rock to bring back to school. Kindness Rocks💙

Hooray for the 100th day! Kindergarten celebrated 100 days of learning and growing together by creating shirts with 100 objects on them. They also wrote about what life will be like when they are 100 years old, jumped for 100 seconds, counted to 100 in a variety of ways, and had a special snack.
