He remained patient, while still challenging her and pushing her to be her best. He helps her keep a smile too. Also she I have seen her grow in her academic and social maturity and confidence.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK- STAFF SHOUT-OUT: "Mr. Greene has always brought a positive and inviting setting in his classroom no matter what and always engages with his students. Many of his lessons not only cover content in the class but his lessons also tie into real world situations that are applicable later in life. Mr. Greene is also never afraid to be real with his students and share stories ranging from funny to tragic, which also tend to be another one of his great life lessons. One of which was during a family emergency he made sure to take care of his family and put them first and still miraculously made time to give his students content to keep growing in their learning. If a student is having a hard time, he talks to them and helps to guide them in the best way he can setting them on a positive trajectory. I am extremely thankful for all he does for his students and loved ones inside and outside of his job, and I am looking forward to working under him for the school news in upcoming years." -Chris Banghart WCS is blessed with incredible teachers and staff who inspire, equip, and enrich students every day!
