Field Day News!
As noted above, Field Day is on Thursday, May 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. While there is no registration or charge for the event this year, we do still require that each student be accompanied by an adult. Students will be released to their parents immediately following their respective field races. As in previous years, the faculty and staff will not be responsible for the students after this time. Thank you for your cooperation!
Students will be served lunch in the cafeteria with their class prior to the start of Field Day. Pizza, cupcakes, ice cream and many other snacks and treats will be available after the races for parents, students, faculty, and all other guests to enjoy.

Kits are offered per grade level and will arrive at the Lower School personally marked with the student's school, name and grade. The kits are cost-effective and most importantly convenient!

All order forms should have been sent home. Inside the form, you'll see the list that your teacher curated for your student's upcoming grade. Everything on that list is included in the kit! There are two ways to order: online at www.shopttkits.com (school code #65301) just select your 2018-2019 grade; or send the order form into the office with a check (or cash) made payable to WSLSPA.
