    Field Day is Coming!

    Get ready for our end-of-the-year field day! Field day will look a little different this year. We will be trying a new format to help our day run smoother. There will actually be two field days this year. We are going to divide our school in half to allow students to participate in a variety of different activities that we haven’t done before. It will also help with congestion issues we’ve experienced in the past, and we will get to use equipment that we previously split between 28 stations. If you would like to volunteer to help with field day, please specify which date your child will be participating so that we can keep you in the rotation with your child. We will need parents to arrive by 8:15 a.m., and we will finish at 11:00 a.m. Lunch will not be provided this year as we will finish at 11:00 a.m. with field day stations. You may send a note with your child or via ParentSquare to the office to let us know if you would like to help. You must have a background check on file in the office in order to participate as a volunteer.

    Our field days will be:

    • Friday, May 16 for preschool, kindergarten, first, and second grades
    • Wednesday, May 21 for third, fourth, and fifth grades

    Students should come with tennis shoes, a water bottle, towel, and a change of clothes. In addition, they may also bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

    We look forward to having a fun day in the sun!

    Parent volunteers are needed for the Spring Book Fair from May 5 through May 9. Any parents who are interested in helping during the school day are asked to contact Andrea at (812) 603-1187.
