We are so grateful to be a part of the Greenfield community. Our school is a nationally recognized Blue and Green ribbon public school and benefits from an incredible academic community immersed in the multi-cultural and vibrant city of Philadelphia. Our school thrives thanks to the support of our generous neighborhood partners and families who value the education of all Philly students.
While the School District celebrates our strides, it has not been able to deliver everything needed to make them. Greenfield community members and neighborhood businesses have truly been the ones to make a difference.
The SY23-24 fundraising goal for our operating budget is $190,000. That’s how much it costs to provide the resources we offer at the school to all our teachers, staff and students. To reach our financial goal, a contribution of $260 per student is suggested.
It’s neither required nor expected that families contribute beyond their means. To reach our participation goal, contributions of all amounts are critical. ALL contributions count towards our participation goal.
