14th Annual Fiddle Fusion The 14th annual Fiddle Fusion event was held Friday, October 6 in Keeley Commons. It was a beautiful afternoon of string music performed by Greensboro Day students, directed by Mrs. Karen Collins and Dr. Stephanie Ezerman. Fiddle music was chosen and arranged by Scott Walker, and this year they were joined by Big Celtic Fun. The newly designed greensboroday.org was released in August to great reviews. The website is now mobile-friendly with responsive design to automatically fit to your phone, tablet, or laptop. Other features include an online directory, easy access to news and notifications, and a parent portal. The site is continuing to evolve with more changes to happen in 2018-19 with classroom pages, community pages, and more! New Website Launched in August Fall Festival The Parents’ Association hosted the annual Fall Festival event. While gray skies were overhead, the enthusiasm of the students and parents made it an enjoyable and memorable day. From games, pumpkin painting, face painting, and the popular Cake Walk, it was a fun afternoon enjoyed by all. Thank you to parents Melissa Feinstein and Sandra Dumbill for organizing this annual event!
