Oakwood’s back lawn was full of enticing events and excited students as our annual PTA sponsored field day got under way. Beautiful weather made the day special as children moved from one event to another every 15 minutes. No time to get bored when there was so much to do – 3 Legged and Putting Relays, Water Kick-Ball, Crab Soccer, Slip N Slide, Parachute Play, Musical Hula-Hoops, a Blow-Up Slide, and Otter Pops! What could be better?!!
Grades 1-3 went outside in the morning while upper grade students watched a movie in the auditorium. The schedule was reversed after lunch with lower grades watching the movie and upper grades playing outside. Our PTA volunteers put in a full day of supervising events, cheering on kids, and getting sunburned!
A special thanks goes to Wendy Debry for all her planning and preparation to make this annual event so memorable as we culminate the 2013-14 school year. It was a great way to celebrate all the hard work students, teachers, and parents have contributed to increase learning and growth at Oakwood.
A special, added touch was the donation of customized water bottles for every student in the school. Silcox Orthodontics, one our business partners, made sure proper hydration was not overlooked by providing convenient and colorful reusable bottles. Everyone was delighted with such a special gift.
I can’t decide who had more fun, the students or the teachers and volunteers. Field Day was such a success. Thank you everyone!
