The district is opening the community schools for tours led by Greendale staff and students on Saturday, August 11, on the following schedule:

In addition to the tours, also on Saturday, August 11, Greendale alumni are invited to record a memory of their time as a student in the schools on video in the Alumni Video Booth, between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m.

The booth will be set up on Parking Street, in the alleyway between the Panther Pub and the Greendale Public Health Department office.

“When Village was founded in 1938, establishing a school was one of the priorities of the developing community and a Greendale school was opened on September 6, 1938 welcoming students in Kindergarten through 9th grade,” said Dr. Gary Kiltz, superintendent of schools. “Eighty years ago, Greendale residents understood the importance of education and that commitment to learning is ongoing. We are excited to welcome the community to their schools during Village Days and to celebrate with our alumni by learning more about how a Greendale education impacted their future.”
