Super Games - Coming Next Friday
Friday May 22nd is our annual Field Day! We are excited to spend a day with the students by celebrating all of their hard work throughout the school year. All 3-5th grade classes will have their field day from 9:20-11:20am and all K-2nd grade classes will have their field day from 1:00-3:00pm. Thank you to those parents who have signed up to volunteer for the event!
Below is some information to help prepare your child for Field day:
Please have your child wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes/crocs. Please no flip flops or sandals due to safety concerns!
Please have your child bring a towel, change of clothes and an extra pair of shoes. There will be some water events that students can participate in and they need to have dry clothes to change into after field day.
Please have your child wear sunscreen if needed. Staff cannot assist in sunscreen application.
If your child would like, he/she can bring a water bottle with their name on it.
Looking forward to a fun event!
