Our Greenfield Family picnic is this Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30.
We do need more volunteers to help with cooking and serving fries. If you can volunteer to do a half hour shift to help with this, please call Kim Gaudet at 902-303-9569.
Also, our Breakfast Program began today. It is open to all students who wish to participate. Thank you to Crystal O’Keefe and Kim Gaudet for their coordination of our great Breakfast Program.
Thank you to all our parents who came to our Meet the Teacher evening. It is a good thing for teachers and parents to have that first contact as the year begins.
Here are some important reminders for the coming week:
1. Please make sure HotLunches orders are in by Sunday night September 15th at midnight. The menu covers the dates of September 16th to September 27th. We are still looking to a Wednesday option.
2. Our Greenfield Family Picnic is on Wednesday, September 18th – 4:30 to 6:30. Be sure to send in your ticket money by Tuesday!
3. We will be celebrating International Day of Peace on Thursday with our annual school picture. Watch for it to be posted. It is always a good one!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Meet the Teacher tonight starting at 6:00 in the gym.
Don’t let the rainy weather hold you back!
On Wednesday, September 18th, we will be having our 9th Annual Greenfield Family Picnic.
Information (on a pretty pink sheet of paper!) will be arriving home today or tomorrow. Tickets must be purchased before the picnic so it is important that orders be sent in by Tuesday, September 17th. One ticket includes a hot dog, French fries, a drink and a cookie.
Many volunteers are needed to make the picnic a success. If you can help in any way, please contact Kim Gaudet at 902-303-9569.
We had two great days last week to start our school year. Hurricane Dorian prevented us from our start today but here are important notes for parents for the coming week:
Hello to all our new and returning students and parents!
Staff at Greenfield Elementary are busy getting ready for all our students to arrive on Thursday, September 5th for the first day of the new school year. Our doors open at 8:30 so students should not be here much before that time. At a later date when our Breakfast Program is operating, the doors will open sooner. Here is our Bell Schedule:
Much information will be coming home in the early days. We do want all our students to be here on September 5th, so if parents are unsure what bus their child should take and at what time, you can check online at:
See you soon!
On Saturday, June 29th you are invited to stop by the Greenfield parking lot anytime between 8:30 am and 10:30 am to learn how to ride a two-wheel bicycle.
Ken Trenholm has taught over 250 people to transition from training wheels to two wheels since 2009. To make this experience as stress-free as possible, Ken is requesting if the bicycles can come prepared: pedals and training wheels off, tires pumped up to their max, and seat raised/lowered so both the rider’s feet are flat on the ground. If the caregiver is unable to do so, Ken will gladly help with this process.
This Learn to Ride event is open to the whole community so feel free to bring a friend. For those interested, $10 tickets will be sold on a baby barn and/or a WestJet trip to help support the U15 PEIFC soccer team traveling to Nationals in Edmonton this October.
Congratulations for Grade 2/3 X for their Dimomir Book Launch tonight.
Everything is ready!
Our school year is quickly coming to an end!
Our Grade 6 students had a wonderful day at Camp Triumph yesterday. We are looking forward to our trip to Sandspit and Shining Waters on Monday with our Grades K to 5. The weather is forecast to be sunny with clouds but may be a bit cooler. Children should bring a sweater or jacket.
Important Note 1:
It is our Breakfast Program’s last day tomorrow. We have two great coordinators for the Breakfast Program, Kim Gaudet and Crystal O’Keefe, as well as many dedicated volunteers. A BIG THANK YOU to them for providing such a wonderful program for our students.
As there will be no breakfast program next week, children will have to have breakfast at home. As well, they should not be dropped off before 8:30 unless they come on a bus.
Important Notice 2:
The forecast is for very rainy weather tomorrow. As the Consolidated Credit Union was to barbecue for us, we had to come up with a Plan B. The CCU will be buying a slice of pizza from Domino’s for all students as well as providing a drink. We will see that children who are gluten-free have what they like. Any children who do not want pizza will have to bring a lunch. Thank you to the Consolidated Credit Union for their generosity!
Thank you to all parents who have paid the school supply fee. We appreciate this very much. If you have not paid yet there are still a few days left to do this.
