The theme of this year’s Field Day was time travel. Each class arrived from a different time period. We had travelers from the 70s in matching tie-dyed shirts, passengers from the Titanic, soldiers from World War I, immigrants from Ellis Island, students from the future, gladiators from ancient Rome, guys and gals from Grease Lightning, New Yorkers in the 80s and 8th graders from 2014 who are ready to graduate. Upon arrival each class presented their time period and flag to the group.

Our station volunteers went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable. Several even came in costumes that corresponded with their station theme.

Students travelled back (and forward) to 7 different time periods.

Time Period # 1: The 1980s

Students rocked out to 80s music. Like totally rad.

Time Period # 2 The Oregon Trail

The students travelled to the river by wagon and then forged the river. After crossing the river they completed a series of obstacles down the trail.

Time Period # 3: Ancient Greece

Students travelled back in time to the first Olympics and participated in a toga run.

Time Period #4 1950s

Students travelled back to the hula hoop craze of the 1950s. They participated in a variety of hula hoop challenges, including a “shuttle relay”, racing their hula hoop and threading the needle with the hoop.

Time Period #5: Colonial Williamsburg

At this station students completed an egg and spoon and wheelbarrow race.

Time Period #6: Medieval Period

Students faced off in a head to head “sword fight”.

Time Period #7: Year 5120

At this station Robots of the future had taken over New York City. The robots’ weakness was water. Students tried to knock down the robots with water bombs.

Thanks to our many volunteers and teachers there were smiles all around!
