Field Day Fun

We celebrated our school's annual Field Day on June 10th. It is a day when we compete in athletic games. We had quite a surprise when it started to pour rain during our very first event...the tug of war. The rain lasted about 30 minutes, but then the sky was clear and beautiful. We are lucky it didn't thunder because that would have postponed or even cancelled our Field Day.

After tug of war we competed in an obstacle course, fifty yard dash, sack race, survivor island, three man race, and ended with a water balloon toss.

Field Day Fun

Field Day is like the light at the end of the tunnel. For the teachers, it signifies the end of grading papers, the end of copying, and the end of planning. For the students, it signifies the end of homework, the end of school uniforms, and the end of the dreaded alarm clock.

Traditionally, our Field Day is scheduled for the last week of school. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Andrea had other plans. Our quick thinking PE teacher and administration moved Field Day forward to get it in before the storm. What a great decision! We were delighted to wake up to 70 degrees, sunshine, and a gentle breeze.
