The Home and School Association’s Silent Auction & Social which took place on Wednesday April 22 at Dane Décor in Old City was a great success and a fun evening. Over $10,000 was raised for the Greening Greenfield initiative adding to the funds that are in place to begin the first phase of construction this June, after the close of the school year. Thank you to our many teachers, staff, parents, alumni, friends, and neighbors who came out on a rainy night to attend the event. Everyone had a terrific time and enjoyed the off-site venue, the great food and drink, entertainment, and conversation.

Greening Greenfield is a five-phase initiative that will transform the school's building and grounds, located at 22nd and Chestnut Streets, from impermeable urban heat island with asphalt school yard to an environmentally friendly building with self-sustaining green space.

Albert M. Greenfield Elementary School is a K-8 public school in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. The school reflects and lives the city's diversity, drawing students from across Philadelphia of every color, background and economic status.

Join us in creating a living example of what environmental education can be. Greening Greenfield invites individual, corporate, and foundation support of this project. Contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to find out more.
