Field Day
Field Day will be on Thursday, May 23rd and will run from 9:00 to 11:30 AM. Families are more than welcome to attend. Longmont Estates Field Day will have 15 fun filled stations where EVERYBODY wins! The goal for the day is FUN! Students will stay with their home classes from station to station and engage in many different field day activities. Stations will be directed by our wonderful 5th grade students and each activity will be monitored by your child’s classroom teacher. To help the kids cool off, we will have a station with water involved in the activity so your child may get a little wet.
We are hoping for a beautiful sunny day on that Thursday. Please have your child bring a water bottle with their name on it (for drinking only), wear proper action clothes and shoes, wear a hat (if they wish), and sunscreen. We will not have cups available for students so it is important to bring a water bottle. We will have four refill stations scattered throughout the Play Zone so kids can stay hydrated.
Hope to see you on Field Day!
