Tuesday, the 3rd
& 4th grade attended Metro-East Lutheran High School’s annual
Field Day. Five hundred 3rd & 4th graders from 16
area schools competed in a day of team-oriented events. Our Saint Paul’s
students competed in various activities including a 50-yard dash, a
three-legged race, an obstacle course, soccer kick for accuracy, jump rope,
volleyball pass, and the hockey shot. Maccenna, Abby, Logan, and Jack proudly took
first in the hockey shot with 10 out of 12 shots made! Students competed all
across the Lutheran High campus while the Lutheran High students led the
events. I was very pleased with the patience and kindness I witnessed on the
part of the high school students explaining the events and working with our
young children. Our kids had so much fun running, laughing, and playing—I think
they only paused for a short lunch break of grilled hot dogs and burgers,
nachos, pretzels, and maybe more candy than their teacher cared to know about!
Thank you to our chaperones—Karen Kilzer, John Fischer, Natalie Carlson, and Jo
Ann Kesterson for carting our kids to each event and helping to ensure the day
ran smoothly for all involved.
All smiles and anxious for the day to begin! (Left to Right, Front: Maccenna, Abby, Jack & Logan. Back: Claire, Cayla, Emma & Madeline)
