GREENWOOD ANNUAL GALA

Greenwood School primarily serves students with diagnosed learning differences and/or other difficulties that impact their learning. The mission of Greenwood School is to provide a challenging and supportive education to middle and high school students with learning differences through adaptive, multi-sensory instruction in a positive, safe and secure environment. At Greenwood we always strive to enhance areas of the curriculum to best serve the needs of the students we serve.

Our Annual Fund theme for 2024-2025 is “An Environment for All”, focusing on the Greenwood environment and surroundings and enhancing environmental options and spaces on our campus.

Students entering Greenwood often lack self-confidence and are frustrated or unmotivated due to past lack of success in school. They have difficulty communicating with their peers, developing and maintaining friendships, and resolving conflicts. In addition, the complex and pervasive nature of electronic communications and social media networking present significant issues for many individuals, linked in several recent studies to feelings of depression and isolation; addressing these challenges directly with our students requires daily engagement, support, and guidance and we try to provide as many opportunities as possible for outdoor learning and engagement. Greenwood offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor learning environments for our students to enable them to learn in a safe and supportive environment that works for their needs. Funding this year will allow us to add to and extend these important learning spaces.
