Principal’s Paragraph
Dear Greenfield Family,
It was such an honor to recognize our First Responders this week! At GCS, we have the unique opportunity to pray for our nation and to teach our students to do so as well. The day started with our school wide assembly where we covered our first responders with specific prayers thanking God for their bravery, praying for their training and preparation, for their safety, prayers for wisdom and emotional protection, and for their loved ones. May we never take that for granted. Please enjoy some of the pictures that captured the events of the day!

CALLING ALL STUDENT ENTREPRENEURS
Have you ever wanted to start your own business? Well this is your chance! Applications for the Startup Club’s fall session are now LIVE!
Startup Club is a fun, faith-based extracurricular program that teaches students how to start their very own business. Over the course of 6 weeks, students will receive one email per week with a short and sweet video lesson and corresponding assignment. Lessons and assignments are designed to break down everything they need to do to launch their business in small, manageable steps—and it all culminates with a one day Market where they will launch their very own business—and earn a profit!
With the exception of one in-person gathering on 11/6 and Market Day on Saturday, 12/7, this Club is largely virtual by design—making it easy for students to participate in other extracurricular activities simultaneously. Students in grades 3-8 are invited to participate, and may team up with a friend or run their business solo. Not sure what it’s all about? Check out this video to learn more!
Space is limited! If your child is interested in joining Startup Club and selling products at the Christmas Market, be sure to apply HERE by 9/29. Please note, applications will be accepted until spaces are filled. Once filled, a waiting list will be started. Questions? We’d love to hear from you! Email us at [email protected].
