Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite

Happy Friday, Gators!

This quarter is already flying by! Next week we’re diving into the fall spirit with Spirit Week, our Fall Festival, and the always-exciting Halloween Parade!

Be sure to check out all the flyers below so you don’t miss a single moment of the fun.

Have a fantastic weekend, Gators!

New No Parking, Stopping, or Standing Signs on Poinciana

Please be aware that new “No Parking, Stopping, or Standing Anytime” signs have been installed along Poinciana by the Town of Gilbert. These regulations will be enforced by the Gilbert Police Department.

To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, please do not stop or wait along Poinciana. Have your students use the designated parent pickup and drop-off areas (Main Gate, Greenfield Parking lot, or Parent Pick up Loop) instead.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe!

What. A. Night! The Greenfield Showdown was one for the books as Greenfield Elementary took on Greenfield Junior High in a friendly—but fierce—battle on the basketball court! The energy was sky-high, the competition was fierce, and every Gator came ready to bring home the gold!

The hype crew and cheerleaders had the crowd roaring with chants, cheers, and Gator pride that could be heard all the way down the block. It was non-stop fun, school spirit, and good vibes from start to finish.

We’re so proud of our amazing Gators and so grateful for all the fans who came out to support! You made the night unforgettable!

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.
