Tomorrow is our Field Day and BBQ. It should be 79 degrees and partly cloudy. However it could be a very warm and sunny day like today, especially in the afternoon. Students are outside for Field Day for almost two hours. Third thru Fifth graders will have their Field Day from 8:20 to 10:12. Kindergarten thru Second graders will have their Field day from 12:07 to 2:15. Please make sure you dress your child appropriately- they will be running around playing the different games. Please no flip flops. Families can send sunscreen lotion that their child can put on themselves. Families are also welcome to send their child with a bottle of water.
We do have one station that involves water where students may, or more likely will, get wet.
Please consider having your child wear play clothes tomorrow so if their clothes get dirty or stained, they won’t have ruined their dress clothes.
Families are invited to our Field Day and/or BBQ lunch tomorrow. A schedule of when classes go to lunch can be found by clicking below.
