2018 Darby Creek Field Day Reminders
Field Day is Friday, May 25th from around 9:15–3:00. This is to be a reminder flier as well as an informative one concerning the event.
Volunteers
- Anyone helping set up “THURSDAY” please meet around at the back doors to the gym. (We will begin moving
stations to the fields after school and probably be done around 7:00pm Rain or Shine!)
- Friday morning / all day volunteers should meet in front of Darby Creek at the White Tents to sign in around 8:30.
- IMPORTANT: To keep the activities safe and running well, ALL volunteers will be assigned to events located
at different areas throughout the property. I am asking that the teachers move their class from station to
station.
- Please sign up on the sign up Genius to volunteer!
Dress (What to wear)
- Be sure to have a bathing suit on under your clothes on Field Day (if desired).
- Dress in play clothes that you do not mind getting dirty in.
- A towel might be a good item to bring (Place your name on it somewhere).
- A t-shirt, shorts, socks are recommended with tennis shoes (required).
- Tennis shoes are required for participation. Please no crocks, sandals, flip flops etc…
- Hats are OK but it is your child’s responsibility to keep track of it.
- Sunscreen is also highly recommended to be put on prior to coming to school.
- Pack an extra set of clothes in your book bag just in case we end up canceling Field Day mid day due to
uncooperative weather.
Weather
- Keep in mind the safety of all when it comes to weather.
- A little rain will not cancel field day. (Wear and bring weather appropriate clothing.)
- Lightning will cause us to go inside of the building for a rain delay. (Conditions will be assessed and a decision
will be made 20 minutes after the last sight of lightning.
- A constant driving rain shower could also cancel the field day festivities.
Students
- Kindergarten students will be at school for their normal ½ day.
- All other students need to bring a sack lunch with a drink. (The cafeteria will not be open on Field Day Friday.)
- Bring a water bottle to refill throughout the day with your name on it.
- Dress appropriately and comfortably.
- Be responsible for anything that you bring. (Hat, sunscreen, towel, etc…)
- Get a good night’s rest.
- Be ready for action on Friday!
