Field Day News

Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that Field Day is Wednesday, June 22! Field day is a school wide event that allows the children to get outside for sun and fun. There will be a variety of outdoor activity stations on the field and playground where children can run, jump, throw, slide, dribble, and dance.

Please send your children to school with a bathing suit or change of clothing because there are many water activities that morning. Also, it would be a good idea to send in sunscreen, a water bottle, towel, hat and appropriate shoes.

Parents are invited to join their children for a picnic outside. Bring a blanket and either buy lunch for $3.25 or bring one. Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers and Veggie burgers will be on the menu that day.


The day will be divided into three play times:
9:00-9:45      Kindergarten
9:30-10:45    1st, 2nd, 3rd
11:00-12:15  4th, 5th, 6th

Picnic times:
1st, 2nd:         11:30
Kindergarten: 11:45
3rd, 4th:         12:00
5th, 6th:         12:30

We will have many stations, and we still need some parent volunteers to keep it safe and fun. Please take some time to join in the fun and volunteer to help. Stay for the picnic with your child.
