Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite
November 14, 2025
Happy Friday, Gators!
What a wonderful week we had celebrating our Veterans! From our flag ceremony and the amazing 2nd grade concert to our heartfelt Veterans Wall, we hope our heroes felt all the love and appreciation.
A quick reminder that we are still collecting donations for our food drive—so keep those canned and boxed goods coming in to support families in need.
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
Dear Greenfield Gators and Parents,
It is time for our annual oratorical contest!
This contest is explained in its entirety in the following attachment from the district. There will first be a competition on the Greenfield Elementary level, and then our winners will compete in the district oratorical contest. Please read the following attachment carefully, as the same rules that apply on the district level will be utilized in our school-wide contest. Speeches should be fully scripted -- and then memorized as written -- rather than extemporaneous, because entrants must be certain their speech will not be deficient -- or in excess of -- the allotted time.
If your child is interested in competing, then he will first compete in a school-wide contest on December 9th, at 3:15 in Greenfield Elementary's library. No costume will be expected at that time, but the speech must be completely in compliance with the aforementioned district rules.
The winners from our school-wide contest will then compete in the district contest in February.
Any interested parties should e-mail Naja Towne at:
Please e-mail me by the second of December with the entrant's name and grade.
Wishing you the best of luck in composing and orating, :0)

Hey Parents,
In case you did not catch it on the news, I wanted to let you know that there has been an outbreak of measles in Maricopa County. Please see the attached information on the symptoms.
I also wanted to let you know that I am seeing a different strain of strep throat here at school. The kids are waking up with a sore throat, the throats are not super red and no white spots or fever but they are testing positive for strep. A couple of kids have only presented with just a tummy ache and are testing positive too. Just an FYI as I have had several cases of both.
Please let me know if your child tests positive so I can send a letter out to the class.
Wraps, casts, braces, crutches etc. Please call me if your child comes to school with one of these. Mr Wright will also need a Dr. note if your child has been given restrictions for PE.
SIXTH grade parents, ANOTHER reminder that when your child turns 12, I need a vaccine form showing Tdap and Meningitis vaccine or come in and sign an exemption form.
In Health ,
Nurse Suzy and Ms. Sue

Raised by Christmas elves, Buddy always felt a little…different. When Santa reveals to him that he’s actually a human being, Buddy goes on an adventure to the magical realm of New York City to find his father and learn what it means to be a human. This jolly musical is a must for any fan of Buddy the Elf, Santa Claus, and all things Christmas!
