excited to play on the main court as the crowd cheered them on.

2017-18 Future Freshman Night Success

On Thursday, January 18, Greenway High School held its annual Future Freshman Night event. Every year in the second semester, the campus is open for displays and tours for parents and their families of future Demons to get a glimpse of what we have to offer.

The evening began with NJROTC students greeting our families in our parking lot areas and giving directions to the quad where our Stagecraft students displayed their high intensity lighting and played dance music to welcome them.

More than 1,000 guests received introductions were by Greenway administration, PAC booster club president, Link Crew, and Student Council. While our Demon marching band played our fight song, student athletes sang it on center court to encourage our school spirit.

Afterward, the students and parents were dismissed to the practice gym and cafeteria to learn about co-curricular and extra-curricular classes as well as student- driven activities and clubs. Student athletes who were dressed in their uniforms performed warmups and the Demon Spiritline cheered with stunts. Each sport team got signatures from the future freshman excited about being a part of their team so that they can be active outside as well as inside the classroom.

Campus tours were given by staff and many parents took advantage to see for themselves the set ups in classrooms for their student. These tours took our future Greenway families through the buildings and gave information about programs and answered their many questions about the culture and climate of the school.

This was the golden opportunity for parents to meet the administration and speak to the teachers from each subject directly about curriculum, teaching philosophies, and classroom expectations. The appreciation was obvious on all the parents’ faces for the opportunity to hold face-to-face conversations about their student’s future.

M&O Override Community Meetings

The Glendale Union High School District must hold a special election with

approval by the majority of voters to continue the current maintenance and

operations (M&O) budget override. The Governing Board has authorized a

Citizens’ Committee to review the M&O budget in order to make recom-

mendations on whether or not to call for the election and to recommend

program cuts or reductions if the override funding is not continued. Public

presentations are being planned to provide information and to gather input

from our community. The format calls for the communities of three schools

to gather at one location. While it is preferred that you attend the presenta-

tion with your school, if your schedule does not allow for this, please feel

free to attend any of the presentations. Your attendance and involvement

in this decision-making process is important to the students of our district.

What is a Maintenance and Operations Budget Override?

A school district’s budget is limited by law. Yet school districts may ask voters for direct

funding to supplement budget allocations from the Legislature. With approximately 85 per-

cent of the M&O budget used for staff salaries and related benefit costs for the district’s

2,000 employees, community support is necessary to maintain current programs or services.

The opportunity of a lifetime

for high school students, both

female and male, to play on a

NBA court is a unique one.

The Hoopin’ It Up at the Arena

event recently finished its

8th year. It originated with

teams from Greenway and

Washington high schools.

This season ended with 42

teams involved statewide, but

it has been as high as 52.

After that very first game,

Greenway Athletic Director,

Jeff Feldman, along with

Phoenix Suns executive, David

Segal, constructed a plan to

invite more teams to get

involved. The Demon Drumline,

Vocal Ensemble, and Dance

Line also got a chance to

Perform. We are looking

forward to next year’s season

to watch competitive high

school basketball in a

professional arena.

Standing Up For Horses

At Tierra Madre Horse Sanctuary, they give love and care to

horses who have been injured, abused, or were simply

misunderstood. The volunteers that visit are the heart and

soul of this ranch. Along with our students, the goal in the

gentle process of rescuing horses and making them a home

is achieved. One day out of the month, our students get the

chance to make a difference. Greenway students can be

found all over the acreage walking the horses and feeding

them. They also assist in the horse grooming routines, pre-

pare horse stalls, and rake up hay. All areas of the ranch are

taken care of with enthusiasm and love for the animals it is evident while also earning community service hours.

The staff at Tierra Madre are truly grateful for this extra help.

In March, Demon Drama proudly presented the great Shakespearian play,

“The Taming of the Shrew.” Stagecraft students created an elaborate backdrop

and a custom slide that was built on top of the stage for this production. All

three shows received acclamations for their interpretation of this play.

Our student group, Best

Buddies, leads the annual

‘End The R Word’ campaign.

Most people don’t think of

this word as hate speech, but

that’s exactly what it feels like

to millions of children and

adults with intellectual and

developmental disabilities,

including their family and

friends.

This effort evolved from

grassroots efforts into a

worldwide awareness.

During both lunches,

students set up an area in the

quad for the campus

community to sign up and

pledge not use the ‘R’ word

and to also build a

purposeful awareness with

society in order to stop and

think about its use and how

change is necessary.

of hot and iced coffees and

tasty hot and cold tea

drinks. In the future, student

chefs will be trained in

prepackage meals to be

served during lunches. They

learn everyday on how to

run a front coffee shop and

kitchen on their own with

the guidance of their CTE

teacher, Brian Dudo. Check

our school website for our

grand opening in March for

the community to visit.
