Lower School Field Day – Message from Mr. Hamner
Dear Parents:
I am so excited to continue the tradition of hosting 2 awesome field days for Ben Lippen Lower School. Field Day is at the Monticello Road campus on the designated day for your child’s age group below:
- Monday, May 9, 1st grade – 4th grade (10am- 12:30pm) 13-26 volunteers needed. Please click on the following link to volunteer for 1st-4th grades: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdxXVb0gnNyaON5Uy2xQ3_i8ulacIiW4kZj_H_pO4KUaTYJKQ/viewform
- Monday, May 16, PK3-Kindergarten (10am-Noon) 10-20 volunteers needed. Please click on the following link to volunteer for PK3, PK4 & K5: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeT1ONNRm9RxBadjuDAO6q5C4t0wNbgmREVtJqbhH1hd_QfCw/viewform
I wanted to send a schedule and give everyone who would like to volunteer an opportunity to sign up! We would like at least 1 parent volunteer at each station. Parents, if you volunteer to help during Field Day, please be on the football field at 8AM. PLEASE DO NOT bring your children to the field with you to help decorate or setup. The element of surprise makes Field Day that much more fun!!
Between 10am and 12/12:30pm classes will be cycling through 10-13 different stations on 10 minute intervals. If you are “working” at that station your job will be to give each class directions on how to play the game, reset your station when a class is done and keep them having fun. Everything you need will be waiting for you at your station. My plan is to have 1-2 volunteers per station plus their teacher so no one should be overwhelmed. This should also allow you each to take a turn to watch your own children participate. Teachers will travel with their classes and help facilitate and play the activity. After all the classes have come through your station, please consolidate your station’s “stuff.” This will help us close the festivities down quickly.
The children are to wear their P.E. uniforms or Friday Spirit Wear for Field Day. Please remember to apply sunscreen prior to bringing your children to the field. Please also send in a water bottle labeled with your child’s name. Water stations will be set up to refill them as needed. Students will eat lunch on the football field after the event. Please send a fully disposable bagged lunch with your child’s name on it for Field Day.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this fun day, please contact me: Eric.Hamner@BenLippen.com. There is no possible way I can properly thank everyone for blessing our children and helping with this exciting day. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Together in Christ,
