Spring Events

The track and field meet, along with the class picnics, are two events which require advance planning. Please note the following considerations to guarantee a fun, safe program for your student.

Nutrition-  A healthy breakfast before your child leaves for these active days will provide the needed energy requirements for starting the day.Fluid requirements are especially important. Remind your child to drink water during the day.

Dress-  Dress for the weather. Tops should have sleeves which protect the tender shoulder area. Supportive gym shoes are a must. Sandals and flip flops do not support the feet and ankles; the open skin area is susceptible to lacerations.

Skin protection-  Sunburn is particulary  dangerous during the spring months. Clothing should cover as much of the body as possible. Hats and sunglasses protect the eyes and face.Apply sunscreen before your child departs for the day, and send a supply along for reapplication later in  the day.  Insect repellant is also recommended. Several products are available which provide both sun and insect protection.
