Field Day

A note from the front office:

We are looking forward to the fun days of field day. We are also hoping to minimize the last-minute chaos, calls, and courier demands that frequently fall on parents, the front office and the classroom. We are asking that field day items  (towels, sunscreen, shoes, clothes, water bottles, etc.) be LABELED and sent in with your child A DAY IN ADVANCE. 

* Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders will bring in their field day items tomorrow (Wednesday)
* 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders should bring in their items on Thursday. 

Any forgotten items could then be sent to school with the student the day of the event.
