With assistance from
Neuger Communications, Northfield Promise launched a new website this fall that allows community members to further explore the initiative’s 10 benchmarks and more clearly identify ways to get involved.

My Northfield Promise
I was introduced to
Northfield Promise when I first arrived in Northfield, as I was apprised of our district and building goals. As I learned more about the work being done to support our educational initiatives throughout all grade levels, I jumped at the opportunity to join the
Career and College Readiness action team.
In case you missed it, the Greenvale Park Community School released its third “
Report to the Community” this fall, highlighting the 2016-17 results of this initiative.
Highlights include:
649 youth and 442 adults participated in community school programming last year.
Over 230 medical appointments – ranging from dental services to sports physicals – were completed at the community school through a partnership with the HealthFinders Collaborative
408 community volunteers and 47 community partners contributed time and programming to the community school
The Greenvale Park Community School is a flagship initiative of
Northfield Promise.
