Angell’s Field Day will take place on Friday, May 23rd. Students will rotate through various outdoor activity stations around the school building with Grades K, 1 and 2 out in the morning (9:40 am – 11:15 am) and Grades Y5, 3, 4 and 5 in the afternoon (1:40 pm – 3:15 pm).
We are all set with volunteers for the afternoon session, but we are still in need of 5 volunteers for the morning session (grades K, 1 and 2.) Please sign up at this Field Day Volunteer Link (plan to arrive 15 minutes before each session and stay a few minutes afterward to help reset or clean up).
The day is a fun experience for the students and a wonderful way to celebrate a successful school year! Please contact Chelsea Packard with any questions.

Notes from Principal Fenech & the Office
FIELD DAY THIS FRIDAY
The weather forecast looks cool so be sure your child dresses accordingly. Students in K, 1st, and 2nd grade will be rotating through 10 outdoor activity stations beginning at 9:40am. Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will rotate through the activities starting at 1:40pm.
To do’s - Be sure your child has a water bottle (labeled with their name), appropriate clothes for outdoor activities, and comfortable gym shoes. Like past years, students have worn Angell spiritwear (or school colors: blue/white) as a fun way to show comradery and school pride!
Students may get splashed by water as a few of the stations involve water play. Most students will dry quickly, however, more “adventurous” students may want to bring a change of clothes. (You know your child, so plan accordingly.) Thank you to our 50 volunteers that will be joining us to make this day a fun success for our students!
