Newman’s annual Physical Education Field Day is coming up on Friday, May 31! This event provides our K-5 students with the opportunity to try a variety of fun activities that promote health and fitness. Our day is based on student choice, focusing on active participation (rather than on simply winning/losing), and application of skills learned in PE throughout the school year.

Volunteers make our Field Day a success! Volunteers are needed to monitor each station activity, assist and encourage students, put a sticker on the tag of each student who attempts the activity, and to be willing to have some FUN (more detailed information for volunteers to come soon!).

The students will be participating during different blocks of time on Friday, May 31 (rain date: Monday, June 3). The schedule will be as follows:

• 9:15 – 10:30 – Grades K and 1
• 10:45 – 12:00 – Grades 4 and 5; Note: 5th graders should wear their class shirts!
• 1:15 – 2:30 – Grades 2 and 3

If you are ready, willing, and able to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer form by Friday, May 24. Thank you in advance to all volunteers – we can’t do it without you!

Yours in Wellness,

Craig Brenhiser, Jim Everhart and Kerri Smith
