Orchard Hill Friday Update
Friday, May 31st, 2024

From Mr. Tortora
We are excited for our last full week of school next week and our Orchard Hill "Olympics" Field Day on Thursday, June 6th. Students will be outside most of the day playing different games and doing a variety of activities (parachute, kickball, sack races, and much more). A few important reminders:
- Please have your child dress appropriately – no flip flops or sandals
- Have your child bring a water bottle
- Apply sunscreen to your child before coming to school
**Field Day is for students and staff only
Our field day is about having fun and celebrating our school community. Our 5th-grade students will be running each station and I know will do a great job! Thank you to our awesome Physical Education teacher, Mr. Edwards, for organizing all of the events and the equipment.
It promises to be an exciting day!!
