Our CK-C6 field day is coming up next Friday, April 28. C2 will have their field day and Spring Fling in the afternoon time block. A few things to take note of:
- Please have your child wear sturdy sandals or shoes that are easy to take on and off
- Make sure they come to school wearing sunscreen
- There will be a firetruck on campus that day. It would be a good idea for your child to bring a towel (labeled with their name) and dry change of clothes.
- If your child did not order a Patriot Games 2017 t-shirt, they should wear a PRS shirt of some kind.
PRS Summer Basketball Camp
