Ask Northbrook School District 28 to revise the new Winter Sing policy to include all students and traditions.

Support keeping it. Be inclusive. Sing a Christmas song & Hanukah song, and let traditions stay strong.

Inclusion on all levels!

Former GBN teacher, friend of many Greenbriar parents, teachers, alums.

I have both a 5th grader and Kindergartener. It is important to me that they get to participate in this fun Greenbriar tradition.

It will be nice for them to say good by singing

Stop liberalism

As a former parent of three Greenbriar graduates, I cannot imagine a Greenbriar Winter Sing without Snow Pants. It is one of the treasured memories of so many parents, grandparents and even my sons and spans multiple generations. Even though change is inevitable, we need to cling to those shared traditions that continue to remain a special treasure to families that have been involved. It is hard to imagine those without children in the school having a true understanding of the meaning this tradition has had in the hearts of so many. Please keep this cherished tradition in our Greenbriar family.

Please bring this back. I have a daughter in 3rd grade so she will do it but I have a daughter entering kindergarten next year and I would hate for her to miss out on winter sing. It’s so cute and such a great memory.

The school district never includes Hindu traditions

Please bring this back! Excluding any child from a winter program it hurtful and wrong on multiple levels! What is it saying to those children. This is really a form of segragation and separation.

The Greenbriar community has always been proud of the excellent reputation our school has earned. In addition to academic achievements, school spirit is crucial to that banner of excellence. Our community thrives on a steadfast commitment to upholding every pillar of Greenbriar's legacy--be it large or small. This song is part of our history and needs to remain so to continue the storytelling of our students and their families.

I was a part of the first Honor Choir with Susan Young as our Director. Eliminating this concert would be a mistake. Northbrook needs happy traditions. This is one of them. It is important that programs like this continue.

I am a grandparent of one present and two past Greenbriar students as well as the parent of 3 past students. I watched all of my children and two of my grandchildren participate in the winter sing each year and have waited all year to see the youngest sing snowpants again. What a disappointment to hear that this great tradition is going to be changed. I am sure that there are many other grandp arents that feel the same.

Kindergarten and Fifth grade are special years for Greenbriar scholars and parents — and the Sing is a significant tradition to form a unified school community.

Warm and snuggly for all!

I went to greenbriar and sang snow pants in kindergarten and 5th grade. So did my older brother and it was so cool to share that with him. Im now in college and still remember every single word. It’s a wholesome, meaningful, lighthearted, and fun experience. This is a tradition worth keeping alive.

I think everyone should be included if they are part of the school; this seems nonsensical that two entire grades be excluded

Seems unfair to exclude k and 5th from the festivities and to also exclude their families.

It would be a real shame to stop this tradition. It means a lot to the students, AND their families. Please don't end the tradition.

Our community thrives on tradition. This is important for the families, for the kids, and for the overall strong history of District 28 and our beloved schools.
