Field DayField Day (Select the picture for the volunteer form.)

A fun-filled day for the children at Daffron Elementary!  Games begin at 8:30 AM for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. 3rd through 5th Grade will begin at noon.

 

Field Day fosters cooperation, skill development, decision making, and sportsmanship. Activities vary in format and reinforce sports skills learned during the year. Some activities will also purely be recreational. The kids will have a blast! If you have not signed up to volunteer, please do so.

 

For Field Day to be successful we need a lot of parent help! Please remember – you must have completed the background check to help. Look for more information by selecting the picture above and to access the volunteer form. We are looking forward to a great day with the kids! For more information contact Hilary Hetzel at or hilarymiller3@hotmail.com or Liz Vargas at lizgvargas@hotmail.com.
