Our almost 450 7th grade students are a diverse set of kids from a diverse set of neighborhoods in our one, amazing, big, urban school. They are wonderful, fun, energetic and have been working hard this year readjusting to "normal" school life again. It has been good, but it hasn't been easy. Our students have been able to swing back into classes and learning and homework, but swinging back into mature social norms and relationships have proven to be more difficult. It has been especially difficult because things have changed. Kids have changed. How they interact together has changed. What they like to do has changed.
In an abnormal year we think our kids deserve more than a normal field day.
We want it to be extraordinary. Our games of old will not create the same joy they brought to our students of previous years. We would love to change up our old ways and begin some new traditions.
Our plan is to have a lot going on, while keeping our students' interests front of mind. There will be three versus three soccer and basketball tournaments on going throughout the fun morning. Additionally, students will be able to rotate among other events including a football toss, kick darts, spike ball, relay races, and other sports-based activities. Additionally, students will also have the opportunity to do arts and crafts. We are excited to make this memory with our students.
Half of students from low‑income households
