Where Learning is Fun

Grenada Elementary 4th and 5th grade — also know as the Green Top — is a special place where kids make the transition from elementary to middle school.

Our teachers are always looking for new ways to engage students’ playful side. We believe that when students are having fun, they’re more likely to learn and retain information.

The middle school choir, Entertainers, also competed well around the state with their show, "Beetlejuice," and the GES 4-5 choir, Pizzazz, captured many first-place titles with their show, "Catch a Wave."
