Eagles, Greenville Twp Fire introduce students to fire awareness week
By Bob Robinson
GREENVILLE – “Okay! Everybody! Put on your best smiles! I’m going to
count to three… One! Two! Three…” “Four! Five!” Assistant Principal
Lisa Maher, Woodland Elementary School, cracked up. “Well… you can see
we’ve been working on our numbers,” she said. Let’s try this again…

The generations to come
By Bob Robinson
“Feet on the floor, please.” “Hey, you didn’t tell her that…” “I didn’t
see it…” “But this is comfortable…” Kindergarten? Nope. Junior high?
