Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite

Happy Friday!
What a busy week we’ve had — K-9 Assembly, Fall Festival, and the Halloween Parade! We definitely ended October with a spooktacular finish!
We hope you have a fun and safe weekend. Enjoy trick-or-treating and all the Halloween fun!

We did it again, Gator family! Thanks to the dedication of our students, staff, and community, we’ve achieved an A rating once more. We’re so proud of everyone’s effort and teamwork!

What a Night!
Our Fall Festival was packed with laughter, games, tasty treats, and nonstop dancing! From face painting and ring tosses to the hilarious Frankenstein’s Nose Picking game, there was something for everyone to enjoy. A huge thank-you to everyone who came out and made the evening such a blast — and a special shout-out to our amazing PTSO and Dads Club for always helping bring it all together. We’re already counting down to next year!

We had an amazing assembly today with the Gilbert Police K-9 Unit and their incredible dogs, Vader and Rico! It was so cool to see all the impressive skills these dogs and their handlers have — truly a perfect example of teamwork and dedication.

A huge thank you to the Gilbert Police Department, and especially Officers Kegan and Mike, for putting on such an awesome presentation and for everything you do to keep our community safe. You are truly appreciated

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.

Greenfield Elementary's Love Your School Day November 1st

We would love to have you and hope to see you there!

If you see her around as you most likely will, please wish her a special congratulations! Great work! Way to represent Greenfield!

Give a Little, Help a Lot!
Our school food drive is here! Let’s come together to help families in our community who could use a little extra support. Every donation — big or small — makes a difference. Bring in canned goods, non-perishable items, or other pantry staples and be a hero in someone’s day!

Join us on Monday, November 10 at 5:30 pm in Gator Hall for our 2nd Grade Veterans Day Performance. Our 2nd Grade Gators will sing a few songs to celebrate everyone who has served our country.
