Splash Day changes

Please see the note below from PE regarding changes to Splash Day: 

The PE staff is so excited for this Friday May 18, 2012. Our regularly scheduled "Splash Day,” will have to be modified in order to comply with recent water restrictions. The PE staff has arranged for a large inflatable maze to be delivered in place of the water slide. We will also provide multiple play areas and other (dry) activities that are sure to put a smile on your child's face. Spirit wear will take the place of swim wear for our "Friday Fun Day.” We are certain our students will enjoy what we have in store for them and we appreciate everyone's flexibility in this matter. We can't wait!

Thank you,

Your LD PE Staff

Field Day

A message from the PE Department:

The Lower Division is excited about this year's chapter of Field Day. We have put together what is sure to be a fun event for all. Your child will be assigned to a team designated by a color. The students will be split by grades into six K-2 teams and six 3-4 teams. We ask that your children wear their team's colored athletic clothing and proper athletic shoes to school on Field Day, March 9th, 2012. Please do not feel required to purchase any new clothing for this even; we simply ask that your child be identifiable, for example, as the Red Team. We appreciate your cooperation and support of this enjoyable event.

The coaches will coordinate, organize, assist, and instruct all volunteers on their assigned event. Field Day for the students will begin promptly at 10:00 and last until 11:30. Those of you interested in assisting the staff and getting close to the action can contact the PE staff (Coaches Every, Pope, and Cameron) directly at ext. 442, 440, or 453 or email wevery@shorecrest.org, apope@shorecrest.org, or rcameron@shorecrest.org.

Thank you,

The PE Staff
