Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite
October 17, 2025
Happy Friday!
What a great first week back after break — and a busy one, too! Field Day and the second grade field trip were an awesome way to wrap up the week.
We’ve got some exciting things coming up next week as well including a Staff vs. Junior High Basketball Game at 5:00 PM at the Junior High. We’d love to see lots of fans there to cheer us on!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Gators Give Back, our community service group, will be setting out on our BIG Love Your School event Saturday, November 1st from 8am to 12 noon.
Love Your School Day Project is an annual event where we spend a morning of service completing some projects to show love to our school, and we have just added our second year project to Just Serve.
During our time last year we hauled fresh garden soil, planted new beds, and cleaned up our Gator Gardens. This year we will be focusing on our primary playground and a smaller refresh to our gardens.
We will be painting and sprucing up the swingsets and tetherball courts, adding interactive art boards, and creating a mural, but this isn't possible with just 4-6th graders, we would love to have our community there to support us making these big impacts happen.
You can find out more at our link below or by replying to this email.

Dear Gator Parents and Families,
We are excited to continue the tradition of creating the “Wall of
Heroes” in our main hallway. This is a great way to honor all of our
Gator relatives and friends that have served and who are currently
serving in the military. We would love for our families to send in
pictures of loved ones to add to our wall. Please make sure to send in a
copy of the picture (no originals please). When submitting the picture,
please include the attached information form in order to have all the
information available. This way we can return the picture back to the
correct student. Please send in pictures NO LATER than October
31st. Pictures that come in after October 31st will be returned or
displayed in your child’s classroom. Thank you so much for your help
and support! Any questions feel free to reach out to
kristin.kenney@gilbertschool.net or alyse.sandoval@gilbertschools.net.

Parents,
Miss Sue and I hope you had a wonderful Fall Break!
Hearing and vision screening is done for the required grade levels and students. If your child had a failed exam please return the paperwork to me once completed by the Dr.
Another 6th grade reminder - If your child turns 12, I do need a completed vaccine form for the Tdap and Meningitis vaccine or come in and fill out an exemption form. Most doctors give these vaccines at age 11.
If your child is injured and wearing a cast, brace, wrap or crutches PLEASE let me know.
Going around the Health Office:
Headaches
Colds
Please send a water bottle to school with your child.
In Health,
Nurse Suzy and Ms. Sue

District-issued ID badges fulfill several critical functions for both staff and students. These badges serve as our primary security measure, enabling staff to quickly identify authorized individuals on campus.
