Field Days

Field Days are just around the corner! This year we will be celebrating and honoring the coming of the 2008 Summer Olympics. We have been learning about different sports that will be played at the 2008 Summer Olympics and will participate in these sports during our two Field Days. Field Day for the Kindergarten through 2nd grades will be the morning of May 22nd and 3rd through 5th will be held on the morning of May 23rd, last day of school.

As you may already know from past Field Days, we truly need the support of volunteer parents to ensure the success of these days. If you are interested in volunteering, parent volunteer forms will be sent out. Please either send these back in or contact me Jennifer Evens by email or by phone. Thank you all for your consideration, it is always a fun day in the sun with our students.
