JFK Field Day was not hampered by the rainy weather. Our team had a plan for a wonderful day of inside activities! Field Day activities were held throughout the school halls and music room.
Students also earned enough SOAR slips to have a School Carnival Activity. We had many carnival game stations where students could play games and win prizes.
Our team of staff who organized these two events, our parent volunteers were essential to the wonderful success of this day. Thank you to all for your time and efforts!!
As a final Field / Carnival Day treat - all students and staff were able to enjoy a Dakota Snow cone treat - thank you to our Booster Fun Run Supports for your support this year!!

Have you heard of The ChompSaw? It's a tool for the next generation of inventors, thinkers and problem solvers! The ChompSaw helps students learn tool safety. It helps with coordination and spatial reasoning, promotes creativity and use of sustainable materials to make ideas come to live! JFK 2nd and 5th graders have started using this new tool in Art. Students are working on their form projects - building with cardboard. Here are a few photos of them working. Be sure to ask your 2nd and 5th graders to tell you about these projects in Art Class!
