It was one of the loveliest field days in a long time - cool and cloudy, instead of hot and muggy. The kids ran the bases, participated in an obstacle course, had a jump rope contest, did the 50 yard dash and several other fun activities.
As is tradition at Rock Creek Forest, the day ended with the 5th grade engaged in a tug of war to the finish, culminating in popsicles for the entire school.
I know many kids wished every day was field day!
Mr. Conti, as always, did a wonderful job coordinating all the activities and making sure that all the kids had a good time, from the ones who win every race to the ones picking dandelions because they didn't notice there was a race going on around them. Many parents helped out with the water station provided by the PTA, handed out popsicles and watched the fun. Thanks to everyone who participated, especially Charlotte Knepper, who picked up the popsicles and Jane Ward who stored them and got them to school on time!
