Greenville City Schools
Family Night a
complete success
The numbers aren’t in yet, but students, parents and friends started
arriving a little after five and continued heavily for more than an
hour and a half. Estimates were close to 2,000 children and adults
picked up summer reading books, ate hot dogs and chips and enjoyed
great entertainment.
The students had signed up for the Kids Read Now program and on May 12,
5-7 p.m., they picked up their first three books. Each week over the
summer they read one book in order to earn the next one. Books will be
sent directly to them at home. The program is for students entering
kindergarten in the fall, as well as current kindergarteners, first and
second graders.
On hand for the event were Woodland and District staff, including
Principal Jody Harter, Assistant Principal Jennifer Statzer, Greenville
Superintendent Douglas Fries, and Assistant Superintendent Laura Bemus.
Helping out were Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts, Watch D.O.G.S.
(Dads of Great Students) and the Woodland PTA. The District thanks
local businesses: Dairy Barn, Rural King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Walmart,
Dairy King, Pizza Hut, Hallmark, Darke County YMCA, Greenville’s City
Park, Eikenberry’s IGA for their donations to make this event possible
for the children in Greenville.
