My Project

This is my first field day with my students at our school, and they are helping me plan some exciting activities for field day! We are a Title 1, small school in the Tacoma district, and one of our mottos is 'Small, but Mighty!'

The goal of this project is to provide our 5th Graders with a memorable field day with sponge relays, water balloons, bubble machines, music outside, and pool noodle games!

Students will benefit from these items which will be used for relay races and station activities that involve Preschool - 5th. Please support our students to have this beautiful, unforgettable experience by funding these activities. We currently do not have a PTA and we are a Title 1 public school so your support and donations will mean a lot to us. Thank you and go Rams!
