Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Middle Grades teachers at Bache-Martin are
pleased to announce the return of an end-of-the-year Field Day for 6th,
7th, and 8th graders.
We have not had this activity for about three years, but it was always a
great event and we think our students deserve a fun day at the end of the year.
On Friday June 13th we will walk to the Von Colln Field at 22nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue at about 11:00
am for lunch and activities. The Fairmount Fieldhouse will be open that day for
bathroom use and to sell food (all beef hot dogs, hamburgers, water, sodas, and
snacks), but students may bring their own lunch as well.
Students
may also bring their own athletic equipment with them for games during free
time (students are responsible for the transportation and safety of their own
equipment). Students may also want to
bring a beach towel or picnic blanket to sit on. We will also have activities such as sack
races, three-legged races, and an egg-toss.
For
safety reasons, we can only allow students that have responsible school
behavior to go with us to Field Day. We want to take as many students as
possible, so please remind your child of responsible and appropriate school
behavior every day.
We
will need some parent/guardian chaperones (over 21 only)—please sign the
attached sheet if you are able to help us out.
Students
will have a relaxed dress code that day (see rules on the back of this letter),
please make sure your child follows those rules so they will be able to
accompany us.
Attached
are a permission slip and a signature page. If you would like your child to
attend Field Day please read and sign all permissions.
We
are looking forward to a fun day at Von Colln Field!
Sincerely,
C. Kelley-Taylor, Y. Drayton,
T. Allen, K. Luebbert, and J. Rupertus
