Please Volunteer for SHS Field Day - TOMORROW Friday, May 29th
SHS Field Day will run from 8:30am to 1:15pm (please note the shorter day). SHS Field day is a wonderful day of activities. The student families get to compete in a variety of fun events (volleyball, capture the flag, running relay, long jump, water relay, softball, soccer, kickball, and ping pong ball relay). It is a fantastic opportunity for the students to show their "Sportsmanship" and "Team Spirit" and for the parents to volunteer and participate in the fun!
We are looking for over 50 parent volunteers to assist with the day's activities, be event runners, and serve lunch. Note that each volunteer slot is only 20 minutes so please consider signing up for multiple shifts - Your volunteer help allows the games, activities, and lunches to run safely and smoothly.
