Field Day News

Dear Parents,

We are hosting our annual field day on Friday, May 19, 2017. This year we are once again going to have field day t-shirts for your child to wear and the cost will be $3.00 each. PTA has donated money to offset ½ of the cost on our shirts to make them more affordable for all students. Each grade level will have a different color of shirt to help distinguish between them. Please turn your child’s money in by Friday, May 12. If you need to write a check please make it payable to PTA. There will be a concession available to purchase drinks, snacks and candy if you choose to send money with your child. All items will cost no more than $1.00 each. All money will need to be given to your child’s homeroom teacher prior to going outside for field day to start. We have a lunchroom type system where no cash is handled outside and a class list will travel with the students with the money they have put on their “account”. If you are going to be attending field day you will need to put extra money on your child’s “account” with their homeroom teacher. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT CASH OUTSIDE. All remaining money on your child’s account will be returned on Monday.

The younger age students – Pre-Kindergarten, kindergarten, first, second and third grade will be participating in events from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. The older grades will be participating in the afternoon from 12:00 – 2:30. All students will need a sack lunch to eat that day. Please see attached cafeteria note and send back by Friday, May 5. You may want to send a towel for your child once they come back inside the building so they can dry off. Please apply sunscreen at home for the day.

We are in need of the following items to make our field day a huge success so if you have any of the following items and would be willing to let us borrow or have them please feel free to contact me or to drop them off at Wright.

Men’s and Women’s Dress Clothes and shoesNew or Gently worn tube socks

Bags of play sandRubber fishing worms

We are also seeking volunteers that would be available to help with stations during the day. The shifts will be for one – two hours. Please sign and return the bottom portion if you would be available to help with our Field day on May 19, 2017. If you have not already completed a criminal background check for WISD you will have to do that before you are allowed to volunteer. You may pick this form up at the front office or we can send one home with your child.

Thanks so much for your time and support,

Kelly Skidmore – Wright Physical Education Teacher
