Your opinion and participation MATTERS!
 
STOP what you're doing and take the
School District PARENT SURVEY !
You've been meaning to do it for months and it's almost too late!
 
The percentage of parents who respond to THIS survey effects the rating the District assign to parental involvement at our school. Grab that last report card, locate your child's identification number and help Greenfield and the District by giving vital information on educational progress. Thank you!
Preventing "Gaga Knuckles"

Gaga is very popular and so are "Gaga knuckles," when your knuckles scrape the ground while you're attempting to hit the ball. We are running through band-aides at lightning speed. 

So moving forward, Captain Kurk is requesting that all Gaga players wear a glove(s) while playing Gaga. No one will be allowed to play Gaga without the protective gear. This will be effective starting this week.

Recommended types of gloves include
  • Basebell gloves
  • Soccer gloves
  • Football gloves
  • Specialty Gaga gloves 
Thank you for your cooperation!
Play Ball!
 
We need YOU to join us - playing adult coed summer softball with Greenfield under the lights at Taney Field! It's a great way to meet other Greenfield parents and get a little exercise. This is fun, casual softball and nothing too competitive.
 
Our three teams typically play one weeknight per week, starting after 7 p.m., from June - August. If you can't make every game, don't worry - we make sure the team rosters are large enough to account for family vacations.
 
Interested? Contact Bob Davis.
Opportunity for Instrumental Students

The Temple University Community Music Scholarship is a great opportunity for instrumental students. It requires parental registration and a recommendation from the instrumental music teacher. If you are interested, please reach out to Ms. Kay-Clark or Ms. Wilkinson. Find out more information HERE. 
Moving? Let Us Know.

If your child will not be returning to Greenfield in the Fall please contact the main office (215-400-7810). This information assists our staff in creating class lists for next year. Thank you! 

A percentage of each tuition will be donated to the Athletics and Recess program at Greenfield.

Information and registration details HERE. Completed paperwork can be turned in to Captain Kurk.
