Grenada Middle School hosted its first-ever family literacy event, Night of Legends, on Thursday, March 23. The event introduced students in grades 6-8 and their families to exciting stories featuring classic figures from Greek mythology.

Following on the heels of other successful themed events throughout the district, Night of Legends brought out 100 participants to celebrate literacy. “Time and time again, our teachers, students, parents, and community members have remarked on how unique and refreshing these events are,” said event organizer Pam Briscoe, the district’s ELA Instructional Specialist. 

Students and their parents were divided into four groups to hear classic Greek myths read aloud by members of the community. Staff members ushered families into classrooms that had been transformed into fanciful settings with the help of community business and civic organizations. 

Grenada Middle School students selected for Positive Principal Referral were cited for exhibiting positive behavior during the month of October.

Administrators at Grenada Middle School challenged students to read 15,000 books by the end of the school year. Students who contribute the most toward this goal will enjoy a host of rewards, including possession of a coveted wrestling belt for the class of the week, as well as attendance at a wrestling match that pits faculty members against each other.

The AR Battle of the Belt contest rewards one class each in grades 6-8. A new set of winners are determined each week by various reading criteria: most books read, most points earned, best balance between fiction and nonfiction, or best class average. 

Members of Pure Imagination, the Grenada School District’s Robotics team, were invited to participate in the annual employee appreciation day for workers and families at the Nissan automotive plant in Canton, Miss.

Six of the ten members of Pure Imagination demonstrated the team’s new robots, Goose and George, which they will use in upcoming robotics competitions around the Southeast this year.
