FUN RUN!
From our PTO:
We have 4 days before our Fun Run! So far we have raised $1,575 we are doing great, but need to raise $3425 more so that we can turn Mrs. Combs into a human sundae. Remember, the top two students from each grade who have raised the most money get to pour ice cream, chocolate, caramel, strawberry topping, whipped cream, then, the top 2 students who have earned the most money in the entire school get to top her with maraschino cherries. This will be a fun time for everyone!
On Friday, April 29th we will have the Fun Run during the day at school. The children will start running in the field by the school then up to the playground then back down to the field. The entire run is about a half of a mile (according to Mapmyrun.com) and the students will run for about 15 minutes. When the 15 minutes is completed then they will have water and a banana to cool down. We need a lot of help cheering our students on while making sure they are being safe especially on the playground area. Everyone is welcome to help out sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/baefunrun! If you have any questions please e-mail Debbie Flinchpaugh-Kirby at baefunrun@gmail.com.
For the Day of the Run, kids should wear comfortable clothing and shoes in which they can comfortably run. Please note we will be outside on the field and playground blacktop during the run it may be sunny. If it is rainy or we are unable to use the field, the Fun Run will take place on Field Day which is May 25th!

Mr. Hackett's Send Off
A Special Message From Greene School PTO:
Our beloved Mr. Hackett is retiring at the end of this school year. Mr. Hackett has been the principal of Edwin H. Greene Intermediate School since 1995, but his tenure at Sycamore Schools began more than three decades ago. He first arrived at Sycamore in 1988 as the principal of Maple Dale Elementary. He led the school for seven years before moving to E.H. Greene where he was named a National Distinguished Principal by the U.S. Department of Education. Under his leadership, E.H. Greene was selected as an Ohio School to Watch and as a Blue Ribbon School.
We want to give Mr. Hackett a loving send off and show him how much we appreciate all he has done for the Greene School. Please join us for a dessert reception on Wednesday May 11, 2016 from 7-8:30 pm in the Greene School Cafeteria. We are inviting the entire district to help celebrate Mr. Hackett’s retirement.
As a lasting tribute to his years of service, we would like to purchase a picnic table with umbrella to place near the Greene walking track in honor of Mr. Hackett. This table would be available for the entire community to enjoy. If you would like to donate toward this commemoration, please make your check donations payable to the Greene School PTO, and send it to the attention of Ann Margolis E.H Greene School, 5200 Aldine Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45242.
We look forward to seeing everyone on May 11th, to honor Mr. Hackett.

Carton2Garden
As many of you know, our school has entered the Carton 2 Garden contest.
Over several weeks our students and staff collected used paper milk or juice cartons and re-purposed them to enhance our school garden. The minimum cartons to be collected was 100 and our generous community collected 1,050 cartons! All students have contributed to this project by submitting their ideas on what to add to our garden, painting the cartons to prepare for construction, and putting them together for the final products. Their ideas included more flowers, window boxes, scarecrows and lattices.....and the reality is even better than we imagined!
We could not have done this without the leadership and support of Mrs. Tami Miller, Miss Gina Bush, and our fantastic parent volunteers. This was a true BAE community project!
THANK YOU!
