Field Day
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
2014 Darby Creek Field Day Reminders
Field day is Friday, May 23rd from around 9:05–2:53 with lunch from 11:29-12:29. This is to be a reminder flier as well as an informative one concerning the event.
Volunteers
- Anyone helping set up “THURSDAY” please meet around at the back doors to the gym. (We will begin moving
stations to the fields around 6:30 and probably be done around 8:00 Rain or Shine!)
- Friday morning / all day volunteers should meet in the front of the school (White Tent) to sign in around 8:30.
- Afternoon volunteers check in around 12:00. Feel free to park in the grass field across from the school.
- IMPORTANT: To keep the activities safe and running well, ALL volunteers will be assigned to events located
at different areas throughout the property. I am asking that the teachers move their class from station to
station.
- If you have signed up to help with 8:00pm clean up on May 23rd, come to the gym doors at the back of the
building.
Dress (What to wear)
- Be sure to have a bathing suit on under your clothes on Field Day (if desired).
- Dress in play clothes that you do not mind getting dirty in.
- A towel might be a good item to bring (Place your name on it somewhere).
- A t-shirt, shorts, socks are recommended with tennis shoes (required).
- Tennis shoes are required for participation. Please no crocks, sandals, flip flops etc…
- Hats are OK but it is your child’s responsibility to keep track of it.
- Sunscreen is also highly recommended to be put on prior to coming to school.
- Pack an extra set of clothes in your book bag just in case we end up canceling Field Day mid day due to
uncooperative weather.
Weather
- Keep in mind the safety of all when it comes to weather.
- A little rain will not cancel field day. (Wear and bring weather appropriate clothing.)
