Meet Your House Leaders

House Leaders
We are so proud of the courage all of our 5th graders showed when they tried for House Leader. They had to prepare a speech and present it in front of their peers. They all did a phenomenal job!
Fourth and fifth graders got to vote for two of the candidates in their houses to serve as their 25-26 leaders. The votes are in and the following students will serve as the House Leaders this year:
Altruismo: Camilla Ann and Cayden
Amistad: Addison and Alissa
Isibindi: Kaho and Marcus
Reveur: George and Haruto
Congratulations!

Young Dreamers, Big Hearts! Great Job House of Reveur!

Future Leaders help present bags to King's Home
Filling Bags for King's Home
Our Reveur Dreamers outdid themselves for World Dream Day 2025!!
To celebrate, students brought in over 600 items to create Sweet Dreams Bags for children of King’s Home - a nonprofit organization that provides a safe and supportive environment for children in need. With special help from Reveur parent volunteers and teachers (Mrs. Jane Farris, Mrs. Paige Bel, Mrs. Wendy Goodwin, Mrs. Jennifer Watson, and Mrs. Elise White) our 4th and 5th grade Dreamers filled forty-eight bags with stuffed animals/blankets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap/shampoo, and books. We are so proud of our students for their kindness and giving spirit. 
Cards for King's Home
All Reveur students, kindergarten to 5th grade, created cards with words of kindness and encouragement to add to the bags. Through this project, all our Reveur students showed what it means to comfort others and help them achieve their dreams!

Greystone Supported UA Miracle in a BIG way for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

Last Friday, students brought in money so that they could Break a Rule! It was fun for our students to choose how to celebrate their support for Childhood Cancer Awareness.
Students placed their money in the container for their house. In all, we raised $1,024 for UA Miracle that supports the efforts of Children's Hospital of Alabama.
Amistad raised $306
Altruismo raised $245.50
Isibindi raised $245.00
Reveur raised $232.50
Thanks so much for supporting this worthwhile cause!
Reps from UA Miracle helped with the collection.
