Field Day Thanks!

Field Day was super fun this year! Children of all ages worked together on teams to compete on a variety of fun and challenging events.  Students, teachers, staff and parents all worked together to make the new field day a smashing success.  Field Day would not have worked without the support of all our volunteers.  We would like to thank all the parents who volunteered to run our events, to lead a team of students, to set up the fields and to clean up afterwords.  There was such a tremendous outpouring of volunteerism, that we can't thank everyone individually.  We do wish to mention a few folks who really helped us create an event that encouraged teamwork, school spirit, and community building.  Thanks to Monica Colley for supporting and encouraging our many changes to field day this year.  Thanks also to Paula Mangiaratti for her administrative help over the last several weeks.  Thanks to Diana Spaulding for assistance on event planning.  Parents deserving a special thanks for their extra work include:  Ellen Alvord, Matt Schulkind, Michele Spirko, and Traci Hess.

We can't wait until next year!
Tim Farnham and Tammy Schulkind - Field Day Coordinators

We still need a few more parent volunteers to help out.    You can volunteer for the whole morning by signing up for both sessions (8:45-10:15 and 10-11:30) or just participate in the early session or late session.

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. Volunteers can sign up by clicking here, by emailing Tammy Schulkind at trahhal@psych.umass.edu or calling her at 230-3431.
