Greenfield Elementary Gator Bite

Happy Friday!
Boy, this week started off a bit wacky with our A/C going out, but we pulled together and made the best of it!

Just a heads-up for next week:
We’ll be holding Parent-Teacher Conferences and will have two half days on Thursday the 18th and Friday 19th.
Students will be released at 11:55 AM on both days.

We hope you have a great weekend — see you next week!

Today, our Gators learned about the importance of kindness, bravery, and coming together as a community. Through activities and conversations, we honored the heroes of 9/11 and celebrated the spirit of unity that brings us together.
Even the youngest hearts can carry the message: Always remember, always be kind.

Our Gator Hype Crew had an awesome opportunity to visit Highland High School! They spent the morning learning from the older students at Highland High about how to energize a crowd and boost school spirit. From chants to cheers, they picked up some great tips on how to get everyone excited and involved.
We can’t wait to see them bring that energy back to our campus!

As you may know our A/C went out, but our Gator family truly came together! Huge thanks to the parents who brought us drinks and fans to help keep everyone cool. Our amazing Security team stepped up to escort students safely between buildings, and our staff went above and beyond to manage the chaos.

We’re so grateful for the way our community supports one another—teamwork at its best!

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming some former Gators from Greenfield Junior High into our choir practice!
They joined us to support our choir program and help mentor our emerging singers. It was amazing to see them lead, support, and model strong vocal technique, posture!

Reminder!
Please do not drop students off before 7:45 AM.

If the Main Gate is not open, students may not be left on campus without parent supervision.

Thank you for your cooperation and help in keeping our Gators safe!
