South Greenville Elementary School

“First Week of School”

2008-2009

             On the morning of August 25, 2008, South Greenville Elementary School opened its doors
to more than 400 students adorned with the school colors, gold, black and white. 
Many students were excited to see their old teachers but a little apprehensive about their new teachers and room location. 
Many parents and older siblings walked the younger students to their classes.
Sounds of a typical school day began to resound, and it became very apparent that students were excited about what was to come. 
The freshly painted halls were filled with new bulletin boards, balloons, and posted school rules. 
Students were greeted at the doors by staff members who eagerly awaited their arrival. 
Staff members were also dressed with the official “school attire” to help the students feel comfortable and relaxed
with the recently implemented Pitt County Schools Uniform Policy. 
As the days continued to progress the students became more accustomed to procedures and schools rules. 

The week ended with heavy downpours of rain on the outside of the school building.
The numerous smiles and many positive comments of teachers provided evidence that a successful first week had passed. —

“WOW WHAT A GREAT WEEK!”
