Saturday November 21st the ladies of GHS Every Woman participated in Greenville’s Habitat for Humanity – Women Build.

Women Build is Habitat’s volunteer program for women who want to learn construction skills and make a difference by building homes and communities.   Created by Habitat for Humanity International in 1998, Women Build brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide.  To date, Women Build has built over 1,200 homes worldwide for families in need.

The ladies of GHS Every Woman helped landscape the new home of the Shell family and learned a great deal about how to prepare the ground and lay mulch & sod.

Thanks to everyone who participated and special thanks to our teammate Paula for organizing this!

The RamSpinners at Greenville Middle has really taken off in 2009 thanks to the efforts of GHS Every Woman cycling team member, and Greenville Middle Math teach, Jackie Baston.

The RamSpinners rode the Turtle Trail at Paris Mountain on Sunday Nov. 1.  We had a mix of beginners and experienced trail riders.  We enjoyed beautiful weather and fall foliage.  The kids learned mountain biking skills such as how to ride over rocks and roots, how to ride through turns, how to change gears, and how to use brakes in different conditions.  The trail was a little muddy!
