My Project

My project will help my students finally get the field day that they deserve. Due to covid restrictions over the past few years, my students haven't been able to experience the fun-filled end-of-the-school-year event.

Field day is a day where students get to interact, play games and have fun with their classmates!

This year, I want to make their field day better than ever! The pool noodles will add oodles and noodles of fun for all. The hula-hoops and the potato sacks will add a great classic activity for my students and staff. Yellow and blue balloons will instantly bring smiles to everyones faces and encourage fun and enjoyment throughout the Field Day.

The materials that will be purchased, with your help, will help make this happen this year and for years to come.
