MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS

FROM THE GREYSTONE FAMILY !

Newsletter for prospective, current and former Greystone students, families and friends

SPECIAL EDITION 2012—ISSUE 11 Published in Kerrville, Texas

The fall semester at Greystone is quite a show. The kids would surely tell you that the action has been non-stop since August. Their days have been filled from morning to night with PT, class, community service, class leader-ship respon-sibilities, more class, studying, and more studying with a little bit of mandatory fun thrown in there, too. It’s safe to say that they are more than ready to spend a little quality time at home with family, friends, and a rare visitor at Greystone—sleep.

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holi-day, the Greystoners helped distribute

nearly 10,000 pounds of Thanksgiving food from the San Antonio Food Bank. Because of their efforts, over 250 local families were able to have a traditional Thanksgiving meal, complete with a

turkey and all of the sides.

Our wish this year for all of the Greystone students, par-ents, and friends (past and present) is to have a

joyful holiday full of good food, con-versation, and company. As for the Greystoners’ Christmas lists, take a peek inside to see what they’ve asked Santa for this year...
