BOARD OF EDUCATION NEWSLETTER |
In an effort to enhance communication with the community, Greenville Central School District is piloting a Board of Education Newsletter. This newsletter will provide a brief summary of each Board of Education meeting and will be shared via email within one week of the meeting.
It is intended to highlight major topics discussed during the meeting. Official meeting minutes and the meeting recording are available on the District’s website for review of all official actions and detailed discussion. This newsletter is not an official communication from the Board of Education. It is a summary prepared by the District’s Communications Specialist to better serve and inform the community.
For questions regarding this summary, please contact Sierra Pizzola at pizzolas@greenvillecsd.org. READ THE JANUARY 12TH NEWSLETTER
If you are not on our email list and are interested in receiving the Board of Education newsletter, please sign up here! |
Do you have any gently used blankets, towels, or washcloths of any size that you'd like to get rid of? Hailey Schmid, a GHS Senior and Interact Club Member, is spearheading a community service project collecting these items for the Columbia Greene Humane Society Shelter. The shelter is currently at capacity and is in need of resources.
If you are doing some post-holiday cleaning- this is an excellent way to repurpose items for a good cause! Hailey is accepting donations through January 23. Donations can be dropped off in the box located in the stairwell of HS Room 249 or in Mr. Gipprich's room. If you have any other donations for the Shelter, like food or toys, Hailey is happy to deliver those as well!

WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS
Written by Kirah S., 12th grader in Drawing and Painting
The Drawing and Painting class created watercolor paintings inspired by famous watercolor artists that they researched and studied. The students tested out a variety of watercolor techniques to get a feel for the medium. The techniques used in these artworks were gradient, wet on dry, paint resist, wash, lift out, and many others. You can see some of the students' test sheets for all of the different techniques. Each student's watercolor artwork had a different style, subject matter inspired by the artist they researched, and their creativity.
To see more of Ms. DellaRocco's students' work, check out her webpage or Instagram. |
