Volunteers Needed During Our June 6th Field Day!
Please consider helping out on field day! It will be held on Tuesday, June 6th. You can sign up below to help set up, run an event in the morning, run an event in the afternoon or both, and help with set up/take down. The goal is to have 2 volunteers at each station.
Donuts, coffee and water are available for volunteers in the morning!
Morning volunteers: Arrive by 9:30 for a brief meeting in the gym. All volunteers (not for students) are welcome to enjoy a pizza, salad, and breadstick lunch at about 12:15.
Afternoon Volunteers: Meet at 12:30 for a brief meeting out by the back playground.
All volunteers please check in to the front office first.
Please note background checks are required for all volunteers and must be completed in advance. The form is linked below.
Please know that no parent spectators will be allowed during Field Day.
Thank you for taking your time to help out,
Ms. Wiedyk

Teachers are already working to determine students that exemplify all of the different character strengths for the whole year. Each week, we will be distributing Character Awards to some of our students. At the end of each month, student award recipients will have a Character Club lunch together to celebrate our positive character!
