Newman’s annual Physical Education Field Day is coming up on Thursday, May 29! 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 Thursday, May 29  (rain date: Monday, June 2).  The schedule will be as follows:

• 9:15 – 10:30 – Grades K and 1
• 10:45 – 12:00 – Grades 2 and 3
• 1:15 – 2:30 – Grades 4 and 5

If you are ready, willing, and able to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer form as soon as possible (Friday, May 23 is the cutoff date so that we can complete volunteer assignments!).

Thank you in advance to all volunteers – we can’t do it without you!  PS–Please note that while we love our furry friends, dogs are not permitted at school wide events–please keep pets at home that day!!
