Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite

Happy Friday! For a short week it was a sure busy one. Thank you for everyone that contributed to our Give-A-Thon your generosity is greatly appreciated! We hope you have an amazing weekend!

Our Greenfield Elementary community came together in a big way, raising over $78,000 to support our school! Thanks to the efforts of parents, teachers, and local businesses, this fundraising success will help provide new resources, programs, and upgrades for the students. It’s inspiring to see what can happen when everyone pitches in for a great cause. A big thank you to all who contributed—your support means the world!

HUGE shoutout to our amazing 3rd grade students and Ms. Kelley for putting on yet another amazing performance! We are always amazed at the talent we have here at Greenfield and we are truly blown away by everyone involved! Thank you to Daniel, Anne, and our 3rd grade teachers and staff for all the hard work that went into this performance!

What a great way to start the day! Thank you to our Gator's Give Back for spreading some kindness and color around campus. We really appreciate the boost for our day!

Meet our powerhouse food service team—three incredible women who serve up delicious, nutritious meals every single day! From start to finish, they make sure every student gets the fuel they need to power through their day. Oh, and guess what? They just got an A on their food inspection! A huge shoutout to Fanny and her amazing team for their hard work, dedication, and all-around awesomeness. You ladies are the real MVPs!

Mr. Lockwood, Ms. Pettit and 4 teachers attended the Summit this year and for many, it was their first time! It was so amazing to learn with them and be able to create a solid plan to bring back to Greenfield to continue the work of our PLC process and look for ways to move forward together and bring new ideas to the table!

Congrats to Reece R on her drawing being chosen as this years Yearbook cover and to our runner up Grace L for next years agenda cover ! Your depictions of our Greenfield community was spot on. Well done!

Going around the Health Office:

We have a lot of Influenza A - kids are starting with headache, sore throat , fever and then the cough. Please let me know if your child tests positive for this. Parents, the cough can last for 4- 6 weeks. Please send in a water bottle with your child. Also, some kids are starting with throwing up and then going into Influenza.

That rotten stomach bug is also still with us.

Pink eyes and more pink eyes

It was so much fun last week with the parade and the assemblies. Many many years ago I was in PTSO and there were literally 4 people that would volunteer. The PTSO here is an incredible group and I know how much hard work goes into it. Thank you PTSO and parents for all that you do for our school!

In Health,

Nurse Suzy and Ms. Lucy
