Duck Race Rain-out Success

Field day brought morning rain and thus a rushing stream, but the race organizers were not deterred.
The race had a new venue...on the slides of the playground! Classes reported to the gazebo, where they were nicely sheltered.  Those classes who hit a clear sky moment played a duck balancing game around the play equipment, while others participated under shelter. After enjoying a little outdoor movement, the class watched their class ducks do a fast duck slide. The duck that flew furthest off the slide was proclaimed the winner, and a run-off of all winners at the end of the day established our grand prize winner. So this year's strongest flight and jump mattered more than strong swimming skills, and the day was still a success.

Thanks to all who participated in this fund-raiser for the school mentoring program. Our program costs are really quite small, while our impact is great, and we appreciate the support we earn from our community.  The administration costs are covered, and we are ready to welcome new mentors and mentees next fall.

Time for the Duck Race!

Field Day is fast approaching, and that means it is time to bring in some money to participate in the Duck Race on the stream behind the school.

Buying a duck means

• Race fun at field day

That's a win, win, win sort of thing!
