Third Grade Field Day
June 1, 2012
12:30 – 3:00

The third grade teachers, along with staff from the YMCA are planning field day for the third grade students. We need parent volunteers to make this happen. Would you please consider running one of the field day events? At least two parent volunteers are needed to run each activity.  These volunteers will stay at the station and work with each of the 6 classrooms, not just their own student’s room.  We will give you everything you need and will not leave you alone to run an event by yourself! Teachers will be staying with their students all day (traveling from one station to the next). If you are available to help, please fill out the information below and return it to school with your child.

Note: The Pine Island Variety Show is scheduled for this same day. The third grade students will perform in the morning. If your child plans to perform again during the fourth grade show or the fifth grade show with an older sibling, please let his/her teacher know so that we can send your child in from the field day events for their performance time.
