Thank you to all the parents who came out to help make today’s field day a huge success. Also, a big thank you to Mr. Kelly and his Field Day committee for organizing and setting up all the events.

We should have enough space for 2-4 people per family. Younger siblings do not attend the moving up ceremony as they are able to see the video the next day.
