Field Day - Tues. 6/7 during the school day
SLES is celebrating field day on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. Field Day is a fun-filled day with many different activity stations for students to explore. Stations include 2 water stations where students will have an option to get wet and cool off. Students will dry throughout the remainder of field day, but a change of clothes can be brought to change into after. Grades 4, 5, and 6 will have field day from 9:30am-12pm and grades K, 1, 2, 3 will have field day from 12:30-3pm.
If you are interested in volunteering at field day, please sign up using one of the links provided. Volunteers will help run stations during field day and ensure groups are rotating on time. If you are not interested in running a station, we also encourage volunteers to travel around with classes. Note that one link is for grades 4-6 field day and the other link is for grades K-3 field day. If you have any questions, please contact Jake Fannon at jtfannon@fcps.edu or Dave Magee at DDmagee@fcps.edu. Thanks, we are looking forward to a very fun and successful field day.
