Greenfield Families and Friends,

Thanks to your generosity, enthusiasm, and unwavering support, our auction was the most successful one yet, raising an amazing $138,000 for the playground project!

We are incredibly grateful — and so proud — to reach this important milestone together. Because of you, we are taking the next big step toward creating a vibrant, joyful space where children can play, explore, learn, and make memories for years to come.

With that said, we are thrilled to share that the Greenfield Outdoor Spaces Restoration Project is breaking ground this summer!

Over the next two months, our schoolyard will undergo a major transformation, featuring new play equipment, updated surfaces, and an improved layout shaped by input from students, staff, families, and community members.

This project has been more than two years in the making, made possible through extensive planning, fundraising, and support from the HSA, the School District, elected leaders, and many dedicated community supporters. Together, we have raised more than $1 million to bring this vision to life.

What’s Happening This Summer?

Between June 15 and August 21, we will complete the main phase of the playground restoration. During this period, the schoolyard will be an active construction site and closed to the public. This work will complete the vast majority of the restoration, including:

• Improved layout and circulation
• Replacement of all soft surfaces
• Resurfacing of all asphalt surfaces
• New play equipment
• Updated seating
• Restored painting and sports courts

What’s Happening in the Fall?

In the fall, our contractors will return to complete the planting, including new trees, shrubs, and flowering plants to make Greenfield even greener. Both the District and our landscape architects strongly recommended waiting until the cooler fall season for this work.

What Are We Still Raising Funds For?

We’re still raising funds for the final pieces of the outdoor spaces restoration: lighting enhancements and Sansom Street beautification. The preparatory work for these future phases, including footings, will be completed as part of this summer’s construction. Contributions and sponsorship ideas are welcome — please reach out to greenfieldhsa.fundraising@gmail.com.

THANK YOU!

We hope everyone has a wonderful summer. Be sure to check out all the information related to the project via the button below.

Thank you again for being part of this exciting moment for our school community — we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to a transformed playground this fall.
