Family Fitness Recap
Thank you to all of the families who participated in Family Fitness this year! For our final meeting we had a great time playing scooter soccer and water balloons. We hope to see you all next year for more Family Fitness fun!
Field Day!
Field Days are coming soon! These special events could not happen without our amazing parent volunteers. Kindergarteners will participate on Thursday, June 6, from 9:30- 11 am. First and second graders will play from 1-3 pm on June 6. On Friday, June 7, the fifth and sixth graders will join us from 9:00- 11:00 am. The third and fourth graders will participate from 1:15- 3:00 pm on June 7. The theme is Summer Olympics.
We need plenty of volunteers to make this happen for your children. Volunteers are asked to check-in outside of the main doors with their driver’s license. Please do not park in the bus loop and plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the field day start time. After checking in, volunteers will walk through the lobby to the blacktop. If you are available to supervise a station, please click here .
We will not be using regular water balloons this year, so we do not need anyone to fill and bring those in. We are looking forward to a great event for all students! Please send your child to school with a full water bottle that has their name on it. Sunscreen and hats are recommended as well. If you have any questions, please contact Jenny Murray at jbmurray@fcps.edu or Michelle Orban at morban1@fcps.edu.
