Schoolyard games in a healthy green space that teaches children as they play. Students who care about their impact on the Earth, and understand how to nurture the natural resources they have around them. A public school campus that is an oasis for its community and an example to public buildings everywhere. This is the vision of the Greening Greenfield project at Albert M. Greenfield Elementary School in Philadelphia.
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
