A few weeks ago, Greenfield Elementary celebrated Crazy Sock Day as part of our October inclusion focus on Down Syndrome Awareness. 💙💛
Each month, our school highlights a different area of inclusion—September’s focus was Deaf and Hearing Impairment. For that activity, classes were challenged to spell the word UNIFIED in a creative way, and we chose to sign it in American Sign Language! 🤟
We love finding fun and meaningful ways to celebrate inclusion, understanding, and unity at Greenfield! 💖🖤

Students in Mrs. Stimmel’s class had fun using our new Bridges math curriculum! They played a game called “Quick Look,” where one partner flashed their number rack and the other had to quickly figure out how many beads were moved.
This engaging activity helps students build number sense and strengthen their math fluency—all while having fun!
