Field Day 2009

Thank you Miss Forsberg, Field Day Committee, staff, and the many parent volunteers who helped to make Field Day a huge success. Field Day was on the last day of school, June 4. Students in K-2 enjoyed many activities in the morning from chalk drawing to parachute. In the afternoon, students in grades 3-5 had fun with sack races and tug-o-war.
