School spirit was shining at our annual Field Day! Students were all smiles under bright sunshine as they completed in a series of games and challenges and cheered on their teammates as they ran and hula hooped themselves into a frenzy. When they weren't going for the win, they joined their friends on the playground and enjoyed a relaxing bubble blowing contest!
