VFE Field Day is Here!

It’s that time of year again! Field Day preparations are almost complete but we need one more very important piece to the puzzle….YOU!  Field Day will be held for 1st & 2nd grade on Thursday, May 21st and for 3rd and 4th grade on Friday, May 22nd.  The rain date is Thursday, May 28th.  We need parent volunteers to come out and have fun with the students! Parent volunteers will be asked to run one of the many stations we will have for the children. Everyone here at Valley Forge Elementary knows this is the place to be in May.  This year, parents sign up online! Please click on the following link or visit Mr. Johnson’s teacher webpage.

For those of you who have never experienced Field Day, this is how it works. There will be stations with different relays for the kids to participate. These stations will be run by the parent volunteers. The teachers escort their classes to the various stations throughout the day. When your shift is over, you are welcome to visit with your child(ren). This is the perfect opportunity for family members to come and spend a fun, stress free day with their child and their schoolmates.
We need volunteers who can stay for the full day, or a half day shift either in the morning, or the afternoon/clean up crew.  We also desperately need volunteers for our set up crew.  The set up crew is vitally important – they set everything up on the field so we are ready to go when school starts.
We hope you will consider volunteering. As field day is right around the corner, we ask that you please sign up online no later than Friday, May 20th.  Thank you for all you do!  Any questions may be directed to Mr. Johnson at johnsona@tesd.net.
