Greenville School District
Students wrap up year with tests, fun and more growth
By Bob Robinson

A school district bus sits outside Garst Museum for a field trip by a local school. A class of kindergartners learns about local government services. Classes from kindergarten through intermediate celebrate the end of the school year with field trips and field days. Junior high and high school students “gear down” in preparation for their summer plans.

Seniors at Greenville High School get their “Send-Off” from the undergraduates followed by scholarship awards to aid in their future college plans.

Finals are over. End of the year grading was wrapped up the previous week in lower grades; the last week of school in the high school.

Kindergarten students at Woodland Heights recently spent the morning at Greenville Street Dept. pounding on horns, followed by lunch and “recess” at Greenville Parks. This was their field trip. They learned how streets were cleaned and how to keep creek and river waters clean.

They had a field day on May 22 that involved portable “air-filled” jumping, obstacle courses and slides, a race requiring walking on cans with strings, and a “give the dog a drink” assembly line. The field day was set up by Woodland Physical Education instructor Maggie Copeland.

According to educational materials in GHS’s Career Tech Program, Careers with Children, what the students didn’t realize was that, like all other “fun” activities, the games were designed to enhance their “gross” and “fine” motor skills. Walking on cans worked on their balance and other “gross” or large movement skills. The assembly line was directed more toward the “fine” or small movement skills.

A young person’s growth is documented and taught to future educators and health professionals. While classroom learning might be over for the year, the child’s physical and emotional growth continues for years to come.
