The Medieval Games
Calling all brave parents of Gator knights and princesses to join us for The Royal Races and Medieval Games of 2017 on Friday, May 12th!
K-2 will be gaming from 8:15-11:10 with lunch from 11:15-12:00
3-5 will have lunch from 11:00-11:45 with games from 11:45-2:25
The PTA will provide lunch and Gatorade for each student. **If you would consider donating small bottled Gatorade (12 oz.) we would appreciate it.**
This year, we will have Rita's Italian Ice on campus to serve up some refreshing treats. Rita's will be offering medium-sized frozen treats for $3. Look for the payment envelope to come home in your child's binder.
We will need volunteers to make this event possible. You can sign up to volunteer by going to:

We've been told that our 3rd grade color for field day next week is ROYAL BLUE. So, we are encouraging students to wear as much royal blue as possible. Obviously, we understand not going out and buying a bunch of new things so you are more than welcome to have them wear regular blue as well! :)
Also, because the theme is medieval, students are allowed to wear armor/shields/etc for opening ceremonies and then will remove them for the games. No weapons (even fake) are allowed.
