Every year the Kasey Program sponsored by Koorsen Fire and Security and Carmel Fire Department comes to Highland County elementary schools among many others throughout the country. Today Greenfield Elementary had the honor of having them come to our school. We want to thank the Kasey Program for teaching our children the importance of fire safety!!

Mrs.Starkey’s first grade class learned how to respond to a read aloud by following directions in the rhyme and acting it out. The students loved having a children’s theater production for each other. Then, during their “write about the text” portion of the lesson, they were challenged to come up with new rhymes to finish each line. Here is what they came up with all on their own!!

Be on the lookout for free and reduced lunch applications to be sent home. Universal free lunch is NOT in place this school year. Even if you haven’t qualified for free or reduced lunch before, it is worth taking the time to complete the form. There can be benefits in addition to free meals for our district and for families! If you need assistance completing the application, we are happy to help! 😊

Information from the August 12, 200 6:15PM all-call:
Good afternoon! We are looking forward to the first day of school next week! Students in grades 1-12 will begin on Thursday, August 18, while our preschool and kindergarten students will have a staggered start. If you have a child in preschool or kindergarten and are unsure of their schedule for starting school, please contact the school office where your child will attend.
Our open house schedule for August 16 is as follows: Buckskin and Rainsboro Elementary - 5:00-6:00, Greenfield Elementary - 5:30-6:30, and Greenfield Middle School - 6:00-7:00. On that same day, from 5:30 until 6:30 in the Greenfield Elementary Clinic, Adena Pediatrics will be providing immunizations to students in kindergarten, seventh grade, and twelfth grade whose parents would like to take advantage of the optional opportunity.
The annual Back to School Bash will be held tomorrow, August 13, behind the Greenfield Presbyterian Church beginning at 9:00AM. We appreciate the church organizing this event that provides an opportunity for our students to obtain backpacks and school supplies. We also appreciate those who donate items for the event.
This school year, we are utilizing a new call system. The information from this call will be posted on our Facebook page and sent to families via FinalForms. If you don't receive the phone call, please notify the office of the building where your child attends. For staff members, please notify your building secretary. It is important that phone numbers are kept up-to-date as we will utilize our call system as we have in the past to share important information throughout the school year.
See you soon! Have a wonderful weekend!
