Dear Greenfield Families and Friends,
Friday's Field Day, aka Neon Ninja Day was a huge success despite the showers and cloudy skies. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped make it happen! We truly appreciate your help and were thrilled to have you back in school volunteering with us again! The students and teachers had a blast!
4th Grade Families~please mark your calendars for Thursday, June 16th at 6:00pm! The annual 4th grade play will start at 6:00pm sharp, followed by a celebration ceremony. We can't wait to wow you with a fantastic performance of Fairy Tale Misfits!
As many of you know, our beloved 2nd grade teacher Mrs. Sandy Aborn is retiring at the end of this year. While we will miss her so much, we are happy for her as she begins the next great adventure. We are thrilled to announce that Mrs. Emma Goodspeed will be moving to 2nd grade next year. She is excited for this new adventure and is looking forward to working with our energetic 2nd graders! I'm also happy to announce that Mrs. Molly Cook will be teaching 4th grade next year. Mrs. Cook has been a paraprofessional for many years and has been with us here at GES for the last two years. She recently completed her education coursework and student teaching and is ready to take on her own classroom. I am so happy to have Molly join our teaching staff-she already knows our school and our students so well, it was a natural fit for all of us!
Please be sure to scroll down to the list of upcoming events and mark your calendars accordingly! You don't want to miss all the fun!

Spring Weather, Tick Season, and Outdoor Play:
With warmer days upon us, we will be spending more and more time outside. We highly recommend putting sunscreen and bug spray on your child before they come to school for an added layer of protection. Sending a sweatshirt or light jacket is also a good idea-we all know the weather can change on a dime here in NH!
Pick-Up Patrol:
It is important that you check and update your children's after school pick up plans in Pick Up Patrol each day, especially if they have plans that may change on a daily basis. We will follow the plans that are entered in Pick Up Patrol. It's your responsibility to make sure the plans are correct. Thank you for your help!
In case you missed the news, morning snack/breakfast and lunch are free for all ConVal students this year, however if your child gets only milk at either meal there is a charge of $0.50. Please be sure to add money to your child's lunch account to cover the cost of milk if needed.
