Give your child a global advantage! Greenville Public Schools is now enrolling students in the Chinese Immersion Program at Walnut Hills Elementary, an exciting opportunity ideal for incoming Kindergarten and 1st grade students.
In this immersive program, students learn core subjects while developing Mandarin language skills and exploring Chinese culture. Students are taught by Eastern/Western teacher teams, where native Mandarin-speaking teachers lead Chinese language, culture, and math instruction while English teachers focus on reading and writing.
✨ Why choose immersion?
• Builds global citizenship
• Improves cognitive flexibility and memory
• Strengthens problem-solving skills
• Encourages cultural understanding
Students don’t just learn a language—they experience the culture through activities like cooking, performing arts, and cultural exploration.
Even better, the pathway continues beyond elementary school, with opportunities in middle and high school—including the potential to earn up to 28 college credits and a Mandarin minor through a partnership with Western Michigan University.
📍 Program Location: Walnut Hills Elementary

Greetings Baldwin Heights Parents,
The day has arrived! Our Baldwin Heights 2nd and 3rd Grade Music Concert will be held tonight at 6:30 PM in the GHS Auditorium (students report at 6pm).
We understand that the event currently appears as “sold out.” This is due to tickets being over-reserved online. We are confident there will still be enough seating available for everyone who would like to attend, so please plan on joining us this evening.
If you do not currently have a ticket, please come to the auditorium as planned. Once ticket holders have entered, we will allow additional guests to enter and fill any open seats.
If you previously reserved tickets but will not be using all of them, please contact the GHS Auditorium Box Office so we can make those seats available to others:
madison.dyke@gpsjackets.org
chris.chapman@gpsjackets.org
616-225-6109
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to seeing you tonight!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING 2ND/3RD GRADE CONCERT TICKETS :
This is from the Greenville Performing Arts Center...
We have begun to run into an issue regarding our ability to fit everyone into the auditorium. Over this past school year, we have noticed that people “purchase” more seats than they need to make sure that they have more than enough seats for our elementary concerts, but will only use a few of the tickets they reserved. Because of this, an event can look completely sold out online ahead of time, but moments before the concert starts half of the auditorium will be empty due to tickets being abandoned.
When families are purchasing more tickets than they need, they are preventing other parents and family members from seeing their kids perform. For this reason, we ask that you purchase only the amount of tickets that you need and if you end up having extra, please contact our box office and let us know. We understand that there are some large families that need more than our average ticket number, six, and we can work with everyone to help make adjustments as needed. We want every student on that stage to be supported and in order to do that, we believe that this is the best answer.
If you have any questions, please call the Greenville Performing Arts Center: 616-225-6108

Dear BH Families,
This month, we’re celebrating the power of reading through music and creativity. Students can join in fun activities, read song lyrics and books written by musicians, and explore how stories and songs connect. We’ll also enjoy watching concerts from major cities to see how music brings words to life. We can’t wait for your family to rock and read with us all month long! Attached you will find a monthly calendar with all the information! https://bit.ly/bhmirmcalendar2026
READING is the name of the game! Attached are your reading log stars: each star represents 15 minutes of reading! For PreK-2 grade students, being read to may count toward the 15 minutes of reading. For our 3-5 students, we encourage kids to engage in independent reading. https://bit.ly/bhmirmparentletter26
How do you play??
*For every 15 minutes of reading outside of the school day, cross off a star.
*When a full row of stars is crossed off, bring the completed portion to school, signed by a grown up.
How do you WIN?? LOTS of ways!
*Each row of signed stars will be entered into a weekly classroom drawing!
*Be the TOP READER in your class and choose a prize!
*The first grade level to reach their part of the school wide goal will earn an extra recess!
*Turn in the most reading logs for your grade level and earn a medal or trophy!
*The top grade level in K-1, 2 (TK)-3, and 4 (GSRP)-5 will win an ice cream sundae party.
When our students reach the building wide goal, Sir Rocksalot will make an appearance with the PageTurners!
Thank you and Happy Reading!
The Baldwin Heights Elementary Team
Special thanks to the Baldwin Heights PTO for financially supporting our Reading Month Prizes.
