Field Day
All Scottie Rainbow Picture at 8 am on Tuesday, June 18th on the playground.
Scottie Field Day is Tuesday, June 18, 2024 during school.
Every year I am so thrilled that we are able to do this for kids. Students will spend about 80 minutes (mostly outside) at school, doing playful and challenging physical activtiies. (No, we don't give out awards.) It's just for fun! The event is not open to observers, but we could use volunteers. (See below!) Please send your student to school with: water bottle with cold water, extra snacks, sneakers, and comfortable clothes. Kids can wear a t-shirt that is 'close enough' to their class color(s). Hats and sunscreen is also a good idea. Please apply your child's suncreen before school starts. Questions? E-mail me at eafleck@seattleschools.org Ms. Fleck (Liz)
