Field Day
Volunteers NEEDED! We’re excited about this year’s field day event! It is sure to be fun-filled for all of the students. The big day is scheduled for Thursday, May 10th. In case of inclement weather, the rain date is scheduled for Monday, May 14th. Sunflower's field day is from Noon to 2:30 pm. This event will include a variety of fun and exciting games and activities, as well as a picnic lunch at 11:30 am. As you know, in order for field days to be successful, we need the help of parent volunteers. Parents can do a variety of activities from leading stations, to helping keep the water stations filled with water. If you would like to volunteer or have any questions please contact Mr. Troast at corey_troast@usd368.
