My Project

Banneker Elementary Field Day 2024. Starting at a new school can be exciting, and stressful. Always looking to make field day a memorable event for all students and families. Looking to add material/equipment, like speed guns, operation games, and foam footballs, to the event so all students can achieve success and have fun. I've always believed that a wide variety of equipment increases the enjoyment of the event for students. This event includes all of the students in the school and family members will serve as volunteers. It is a great culminating event for the school year. Students will participate in over twenty stations for the day. Stations will focus on fun and cooperation. Students will participate in stations that will test their motor skills as well as fun activities involving water games.
