Field Day is Coming!

Field Day is coming! Wednesday May 14th!

**Rain Dates are Thursday or Friday of that week!

K, 1st and 2nd: 8-10am

3rd, 4th and 5th: 10:30-12:30

* ACTIVITIESWe have 16 activity stations, a couple of water tables for grabbing a drink, and an Information/First Aid Table, staffed with wonderful VOLUNTEERS!  The students rotate (every 7-8 minutes) through all stations. No worries – a horn will be blown for each rotation. 

* SHIRTS: If you have ordered a shirt, it will be delivered next week. 

* VOLUNTEERS:  If you have signed up already – you should have gotten an email to confirm your session(s).  If you signed up and did not receive an email, please let us know. We could not have a successful Field Day without all the help of our wonderful volunteers.  Our volunteers run our stations, and our goal is to have 3-5 volunteers per station (or more) so everyone gets an opportunity to go and visit/travel with their student’s class for some time.  It is a great way to see all the students and make some new friends.  Please make sure you have completed the volunteer training.  It only takes a few minutes.  Link is HERE.

We are still in need of Volunteers, especially for the 2nd session (grades 3-5th).  Please consider helping! 

You can sign up through the link HERE or email PE Department-Robin Dunn dunnr@fultonschools.org
