Helping Parent Leaders Make Schools Great

A Great Field Day Despite the Weather

July 6th, 2009 by Lisa Gundlach

Many of us have vivid, and happy childhood memories of their field days at school. It’s not until you are a parent, that you appreciate the thought and energy put into these events. And it’s not until you’re a parent, that you realize that field days cannot happen without the help of — you guessed it — parents! This article about a New York school’s field day brings home how important parent volunteers are to a school community. Rain didn’t dampen the spirit of this school community — they set up the field day in their gym and hallways. More happy memories in the making. Love that commitment to the kids!
