The Albert M. Greenfield Home & School Association Annual Drive
As many of CCRA's members know, the Greenfield School is one of the
bedrock institutions of our community. Originally founded in 1954 as a
result of CCRA's lobbying efforts, Greenfield is consistently ranked as
one of Philadelphia's top elementary schools.
Presently, Greenfield's Home and School Association is in the midst
of its annual drive. From after school activities to special education
initiatives, Greenfield's HSA supports a variety of programs that enrich
its students' education. During this holiday season, please consider
making a donation to support their efforts.
