While we’re grateful for both of our Greenfield Elementary leaders, we have to side with Mr. Vande Berg on this one… GO PACK GO! 💚💛

Our 4th graders recently completed their Music Program, and this year’s theme, A Pirates Christmas, was equal parts fun, festive, and full of energy! The students lit up the stage with their singing, acting, and big personalities.
We are so proud of their hard work and the confidence they showed while performing. The audience got to enjoy an unforgettable mix of elves, pirates, Santa, and plenty of holiday magic in between. ❤️🖤

Our kids did great, and so did the Lions Club volunteers… even if there was a little friendly debate about which team is better: the Green Bay Packers or the Chicago Bears. 😄🏈
Huge thanks to the Lions for supporting our students! ❤️🖤





Please travel safely! ❄️🚗

Our young creators were inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe, Greenfield Elementary’s Artist of the Month. ❤️🖤
