Greenfield Elementary School

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.

As parents know, we are hoping to collect the school supply fees for coming school year by tomorrow – Friday, June 14th.

We hope parents who have not paid will do their best to take care of this.

A couple of reminders for parents:

1. Payment for June HotLunches is tomorrow – Friday, June 7th.

2. School Supply Fees are due. It would be great to have this collected by         next week!

3. No school tomorrow for our current kindergarten students.

Culture Summerside is hosting an Olde Fashioned Carnival. This is an affordable and exciting community event that attracts over 3000 people.

 There is fun for all ages with carnival food and games.  This event takes place in the Gardens of Lefurgey Centre on Friday, June 21st from 4:00 to 7:00.

We are having a sale on all our Greenfield clothing!

Here is a picture of the items we have:

The t-shirts are $5.00 and the hoodies (there are only a few!) are $10.00.

The socks are $15.00 a pair but they are excellent quality.  We have them in child’s size small and medium.

Students can come to the office and we will size them up for their purchase.

Our Grade 6 students are preparing to leave us and move on to Summerside Intermediate School to begin the next stage of their school career.  Here is what is happening for them in the coming weeks:

1. Students will have an Orientation Visit at S.I.S. on Monday, June 10th at  9:15.  A bus will take students to S.I.S. and back.
2. Students will have their trip to Camp Triumph  on Wednesday, June 19th.  Further details on preparing for the day will be coming from teachers.
3. Our Grade 6 Closing Ceremony is on Tuesday, June 25 at 1:15. Doors will open at 12:30.  Practice for the closing ceremony will be on Monday, June 24th when all other classes have their end-of-trips to Sandspit and Shining Waters. We will have a special lunch for our Grade 6 students that day.

HotLunches ordering for June closes tonight at 12:00.

A reminder that all ordered lunches must be paid for by this Friday, June 7th.
