The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Read Across America Day takes place on March 2nd as part of National Reading Month, which takes place throughout March. #ReadAcrossAmerica

Greenbrier East is partnered with the Game Changer organization to develop a substance misuse prevention program. Today every first-period class watched "One Pill Can Kill". This is a high-quality film produced by the Game Changer program. Below is a link to the Game Changer web page where the video can be seen. There are also numerous resources on the website. We encourage everyone to use these resources and have conversations with their children.
