FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Greenfield Parents,
May is here, which means the end is near!! Hard to believe! I am continually reminded of how special it is to be a part of this wonderful community rooted in a common goal of raising up young people who love, know, and follow Christ. This week we had a special message in chapel from Mr. Stow who shared about running with endurance the race God has set before us. And….finish strong!
As we navigate the busyness of these final weeks, we kindly ask for your continued patience in the driveline. Also, a gentle reminder: the front parking spaces are reserved for families with our littlest students—PreK and Kindergarten.
We have many special events coming up, so please take a moment to review what’s ahead.
