Together...
We appreciate your partnership and support.
Field Day is almost here!
Field Day Information from Ms. Head
Field Day is Friday May 19th.
All K- 5th grade learners will be doing different station activities outside. K-2nd grades station activities are from 8:20-11:20, and 3rd-5th grades are from 8:00-12:00. Pre-K will be outside for About 2 hours. Please apply sunscreen at home.
During field day, learners will be on different surfaces (grass and cement), so sneakers or water shoes are a must.
During the fun flusher, water slides, sponge relay, shark shot and a tropical obstacle your child will become VERY wet, so please have them bring a complete change of clothing. Pre-K will not be participating in any water activities.
During field day, all learners must wear shorts, and a “top.” “Tops” can be a tank top, swim shirt, and/or t-shirt. (No bikini tops)
There will be a school wide snack break during the morning provided by PTO.
Both cafe and front loops will be closed to traffic after the morning drop-off.
Since we have several fun stations located in the Cafe Parking Lot. This area will not be accessible for parking on May 19th until after 12:00. So, please plan to walk, drop off, or bike to school that morning.
From our PTO
It’s that time where we need people to sign up for the best day of the year! Field Day 2023!
It is time for the greatest day known to all Lakeside Longhorns. Field Day. You won't find a more entertaining opportunity to volunteer. The day is FUN FUN FUN. You will sweat, you will get wet, you will get dirty. You will also laugh and have face cramps from perma-grin as well. We will have opportunities for helping on Field Day Eve, Field Day set up, Field Day stations, and Field Day take-down. You MUST have a background check on file.
