Keeping up with Kindergarten vol.22
Mrs. Van, Mrs. Houston, Mrs. Nunes, Mrs. Neely
Ride's annual Field Day is quickly approaching. We recommend that your child wears comfortable clothes, applies sunscreen, and brings a labeled water bottle.
Each student will be teacher-paired into a “buddy group.” The buddies and a parent volunteer will work together to complete various cooperative, competitive, and active events. Groups are free to complete the events in any order they like. The following is a schedule for the day’s activities.
A representative from your child’s classroom might contact you requesting volunteers to chaperone a group of kinder / preK students. For those of you with additional children at Ride, please be aware that parents who volunteer to lead a Field Day event for the school may not concurrently volunteer to “chaperone” a group of students. K and PreK chaperones will report to the classroom at 10:35am. No spectators, please. We are looking forward to an active, student-focused event!
Thank you,
Bridget Hodge and Laura Matthews
