Zachary Connell and Caleb Gallant placed fourth in the Provincial Badminton Tournament on Saturday, May 4th, just out of reach of the medals. We are very proud of them! It takes a lot of practice and play to have that result. Congratulations, Zach and Caleb!

The variety concert (for students only) that was originally scheduled for Monday, May 6 is postponed. The new date will be shared as soon as possible.

There will be a decision made regarding the Spring Concert in the near future.

Yes, that was 20, 064 bags that were recycled by Greenfield students to be turned into lumber for decks and furniture. It was a great project led by our Grade 6 students, Mme. Robyn and Mrs. Rioux.

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

Ty MacLeod’s “The Sky is the Limit” Easter Seals Tour was at Greenfield this morning.

Here is Ty with some Greenfield friends receiving our cheque for $500.00.  This was raised on our “Ty Tuesday” when our students wore a tie and brought a donation for Easter Seal

Important !  Please be aware that until further notice you will be unable to pay for HotLunches through PayPal. 

We ask that parents please send in the money by cheque or cash.

The issue has to do with our HotLunches program not having a business number to satisfy PayPal requirements. 

We will let you as soon as this has been resolved.

The May HotLunches menu is now open for ordering.

This menu covers the dates of Monday, May 6th to Friday, May 31st.  Ordering starts today and will close on Sunday, May 5th at midnight.

Again we have a number of unpaid orders from last month.  Parents should know that they will be unable to order for May until April orders have been paid.

Going forward, due to the number of late payments, orders must be paid for by the end of the first week of the new menu (by Friday, May 10th for the May menu). Orders that have not been paid will be deleted for the remainder of the month. 

On Wednesday, May 1st the Tim Horton’s 2019 Easter Seals Ambassador Tour will be at Greenfield Elementary!

This year the Ambassador is Ty MacLeod, the son of Brian and Shelley MacLeod of Summerside. Ty is 13 years old and he is a Grade 7 student at Athena Consolidated School. Ty has been a great Easter Seals Ambassador and we are happy to welcome him at Greenfield.

Tomorrow we are having a Ty Tuesday. Students can wear a tie however they wish – a neck tie, a tie in their hair, around their wrist.  We are hoping they will bring a donation for Easter Seals – a toonie, a loonie or whatever they can.  We all know Easter Seals is a great cause!
