Field Day 2022

Field Day is scheduled for Friday, April 22. In the case of inclement weather and we are unable to be outside, students will observe a normal class day and Field Day will postponed until Friday, April 29. Students should wear their Field Day t-shirts with shorts, socks, and shoes that they don’t mind getting wet or muddy. Students may wish to bring a towel and an additional change of clothes.

We will observe our usual school start times for all grades JK3-12. Lower school students should report to their homerooms, and upper school students should report to their maisons. 

The day will begin with the topping out ceremony for the new Schaefer Family Student Life Center in the back bowl at 8:00 am. At the conclusion of the ceremony, we will begin the Parade of Athletes and enter the Kenefick Gym for Opening Ceremonies from 8:45-9:20 am. Activities for students JK3, JK4, and Kindergarten run from 9:30-11:30 am. Students in grades JK3-K will have an optional dismissal at 11:30 am or parents may choose to have these students remain at school until regular 3:15 pm dismissal. Activities for grades 1-12 run from 9:30 am to 1:45 pm. The Tug-O-War and Closing Ceremonies for all grades will begin at 1:45 pm in Kenefick Gym and should end by 2:30 pm. We will have water stations throughout the campus. For hydration, students are encouraged to bring their own water bottles labeled with their names.

Parents are invited to attend Field Day, especially for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. This is an all-school tradition that encourages our families to celebrate Goal 4: the building of community as a Christian value!

We ask that you please not bring dogs or other pets to Field Day.
