We are so grateful to Gillespie Events and Florals for inviting Rupert Elementary students to help decorate a special tree for the Greenbrier!
This beautifully adorned tree—covered with heartfelt letters to Santa—now shines brightly in the Upper Lobby of the Resort. Our students truly brought it to life with their creativity and holiday spirit.
✨ We invite you to stop by and see it in person this holiday season! ✨
Just a quick reminder from Greenbrier County Schools regarding a few important dates:
Parent-Teacher Conference Day is scheduled for Friday, November 21. Students do not report to school; however, this is a great opportunity to schedule time to connect with your child’s teachers and discuss their progress. Thanksgiving Break will run from Monday, November 24, through Friday, November 28. School will reconvene on Monday, December 1.
We appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy a safe and restful Fall break with your family!

This month, we’re celebrating the amazing work happening in our counseling program! Ms. Black has created a cozy, welcoming space where students feel comfortable to share, grow, and find solutions. 💛🪴
Using Solution-Focused Counseling strategies, students explore their strengths through miracle questions, exceptions, and scaling—empowering them to see their progress and possibilities. 🌈
From whole group yoga sessions promoting mindfulness and calm, to individualized and small group counseling, every student is supported in finding their best path forward. 🧘♀️
We’re so proud of the creative and caring ways our counselor helps students shine!

While they squish and mold, those little fingers are secretly getting stronger! 💪 All that pinching, rolling and flattening develops fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and that crucial pincer grasp needed for writing and cutting later.
Who knew learning could be this squishy and fun?

✅ Stick with a group and always have an adult nearby.

✅ Wear bright colors or add reflective tape so drivers can see you.
✅ Carry a flashlight or glow stick for extra visibility.
✅ Check your treats before eating them—safety first!
Have a spook-tacular and safe Halloween! 🕸️🍬

This week, our 3rd-grade students have been exploring melody and rhythm in music class with Ms. Boothe. Using xylophones, students learned to identify and perform the notes B, A, and G, while practicing steady beat and basic rhythmic patterns.
We’re proud of our young musicians for their focus, creativity, and teamwork as they continue developing their musical abilities under Ms. Boothe’s guidance. 🎵👏

Students from Rupert Elementary had a blast with Clay2Go, a mobile museum traveling throughout West Virginia providing engaging, interactive STEAM exhibits for students. Clay2Go brings classroom lessons to life through 36 hands-on activities centered around five basic themes: Math, Forces & Motion, Magnetism, Electricity, and Light & Color. Students were able to explore hands-on science and math activities that made learning exciting and engaging!
A big thank you to Clay2Go and GBC Schools for sponsoring this opportunity and helping us bring learning to life in such a fun and meaningful way. 🙌
