SAVE THE DATE
Last years auction was our highest attended and highest earning auction to date. The feedback on the space, the food, the drinks and the items was incredible. This year will be ALL THAT and more.
Don't miss it!

Greenfield 2.0 Auction for Upgrades
The School District celebrates the strides Greenfield makes and the ribbons we receive but it doesn't provide everything we've needed to make them. Greenfield community members and neighborhood businesses have truly made the difference.
Greenfield 2.0: Auction for Upgrades will support the purchase of more Chromebooks, continued updates to our Auditorium audio system and improvement of school bathroom facilities.
The Auction is our major fundraising event and we need your help to support our growth. It's an incredible night - a social highlight for Greenfield parents! The food, the drinks and of course the company are wonderful. But the Auction wouldn't be an Auction without the...auctioning!
YOU can support Greenfield's Auction.

In fact, we were the highest ranked school in Philadelphia.
This was made possible by our incredible lower school teachers, who have so skillfully taught our children and have given them the tools they need to succeed.
Congratulations to our teachers and children on this great result!
