Green and Gold Days
“Are Your Ready to Rumble?!” That was one of the questions, Dan Lazar asked Greenfield’s spirited student body as they prepared for the revival of Green and Gold Days. On Tuesday June 8 and Wednesday June 9, all Greenfield students competed in an array of relays and games. The excitement in the schoolyard was evident to any passerby who heard the kids cheering their teams on from blocks away. Mr. Playo organized lots of fun activities for all grade-levels and the kids had a blast. Thanks to all the amazing parent volunteers, teachers, and students for making these two days a success! Special thanks to Mr. Playo and Mr. Lazar —we can’t wait until next year!

CAREER DAY IS HERE AGAIN!
Dear Greenfield Parents and Guardians:
Career Day is one of Greenfield’s most interesting annual events – a special day each spring when parents, relatives, and other members of our community come into our classrooms and speak to students about what they do, exposing our kids to just a few of the many choices open to them in the future. This year’s Career Day at Greenfield will be held on Friday, June 4. We plan for the career presentations to take place in all of our classrooms from Kindergarten through eighth grade.
We need career presenters! The Greenfield community is extremely diverse and talented and we hope to expose our children to a great variety of future career possibilities. We are asking parents and guardians to present short demonstrations or discussions (approximately 15 - 20 minutes each) of their chosen craft, job, or profession. Samples and props are great additions to your presentations, and we can also accommodate requests for overhead projectors, screens, etc. We also encourage you to ask friends, relatives, neighbors or coworkers who might be willing to come to Greenfield and discuss their work, and give us the contact information for anyone who may be interested.
Volunteers can come for one presentation, a few, a half day or for the entire day. Just fill out and return the form below to be placed on the schedule. Your schedule will be given to you (via phone, fax, or backpack) several days before the event. We also need volunteers throughout the day to usher our presenters around the school and help with refreshments.
All presenters and assistants are also invited to a complimentary lunch that day.
If you have any questions, please contact one of us through the Home and School mailbox or by email.

Greenfield on Ice!
Greenfield Home & School's first-ever skate night one recent Saturday couldn't have been more perfectly timed. Just days after the closing ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics were held, students, parents, guardians and friends strapped on their blades to skate, jump and spin at South Philadelphia's storied Rizzo Rink. Students were excited to see their teachers take to the ice, as Ms. Demko (6,7,8 Social Studies), Mr. Rubinstein (Technology), and Officer Alexander (Security) joined in with their families. The evening proved so successful that event organizer Donato Pignetti (parent of Greenfield 6th graders Gianni, Donato, and Max) was overheard saying that families can look forward to more of the same next winter. Thanks again to the Pignetti family, and to all those who joined in the chilly fun. As kindergartner Natalie Kim said upon leaving the rink, "I loved skating with my friends! Can we do it again tomorrow, Mom?"
