Field Day
2026-05-29 09:00 - 15:00 | Newman Elementary, 1155 Central Ave, Needham, MA, 02492, United States
Newman’s annual Physical Education Field Day is coming up on Friday, 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 Friday, May 29 (rain date: Thursday, June 4). The schedule will be as follows:
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!!
