Green Acres Middle School took learning to new heights this week! 🚀✨ Our scholars had an unforgettable experience at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center as part of our Intercession week, and what a powerful way to end it! From exploring real rockets and space artifacts to diving into hands-on STEM activities, our students didn’t just learn about science. They experienced it! Moments like these spark curiosity, fuel big dreams, and remind our students that the sky is NOT the limit. 🌎🚀 We are so proud of our Green Acres scholars for representing us so well and embracing every opportunity to grow. Intercession was truly out of this world! 💚✨

📣Did you know⁉️ 👀 Academic success is strengthened by Social Emotional Learning (SEL) because students who manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions are better able to focus, persevere, and fully engage in learning. We’re proud to share that during Intercession our students participated in the SEL through Theatre program sponsored by Red Mountain Theatre!🎭 🎬 Through this SEL-focused theatre experience, our students had the chance to: ✨ Build confidence and social skills ✨ Practice creative expression and collaboration ✨ Engage in meaningful learning through the arts We are so proud of their hard work, curiosity, and courage! 🌟 #SEL #ArtsEducation #TheatreKids #ProudMoment #RedMountainTheatre

Hello Parents and Guardians,

This is a reminder that Intercession will take place next week, February 23rd–27th, at Green Acres Middle School.
Intercession is a valuable opportunity for our students to continue growing academically in a focused and supportive environment. During this time, students work in smaller groups, receive individualized support, and participate in targeted instruction designed to help close learning gaps. It is an excellent way to strengthen skills, build confidence, and promote continued academic success.
We strongly encourage you to register your child for Intercession as soon as possible. To complete registration, please visit the Birmingham City Schools website and follow the Intercession registration link.
At Green Acres Middle School, we are committed to keeping our parents informed and actively engaged in your child's academic progress.
