Green Vale’s campus came alive once again as students from Pre-Nursery through 8th Grade returned after what we hope was a summer filled with joy, relaxation, and time spent with loved ones. The campus, which had been quiet but busy with preparations over the break, was suddenly bursting with energy as students reunited with friends, teachers, and classmates. Smiles, hugs, and waves goodbye were exchanged as families dropped off their children for the start of the 2024-25 academic year.
For some of our youngest students, especially those stepping onto campus for the very first time, the morning brought a mix of excitement and uncertainty. But in true Green Vale fashion, older siblings, seasoned classmates, and supportive teachers stepped in to offer a helping hand. Whether it was walking a younger sibling to their classroom or providing a reassuring smile, these small gestures of kindness reflected the close-knit community we’re so proud of at Green Vale.
This year, our school theme is Respect—and even on the very first day, we saw it in motion. Respect was visible in the way students helped one another, welcomed new classmates, and approached the day leading with open minds and compassion. Handshakes, friendly greetings, and helpfulness set the tone for what promises to be a year defined by respect and understanding.
Classrooms were filled with eager minds ready to dive into another year of discovery, growth, and connection. Faculty and staff were ready to greet students and welcome them back to what many call their second home. Together, we will carry forward the value of respect, showing it in our actions, words, and interactions with one another throughout the year.
