New town historian takes over

GREENVILLE — A group of faculty and staff at the elementary school organized a secret “Underground Spirit Week” recently, where the adults embraced themed dress-up days while the students had no clue what was going on (at first)!

Some favorite themes of the week were ABC Day (Anything But a Cup) and Dress Like a Student Day.

This fun-filled week was the perfect way to boost morale before the break and bring extra smiles to the students.
