Grade 7 and 8 students at Ellenville Jr/Sr High School enjoyed a fun-filled, summer-like Field Day on June 5! To kick off the event, students attended an awards ceremony emceed by all of their teachers, where they were presented with such honors as “Best Reader,” “Most Inquisitive Scientist,” and more!
Students then took to the athletic fields for some friendly competition, including such activities as the 4x100 relay, the 55m dash, a Frisbee throw, relay races, a three-legged sack race, a “Dizzy Bat” race, and a “Leaky Pipe” challenge.
After working up an appetite on the fields, the students enjoyed a barbecue lunch, and then played some more. The jam-packed schedule included dancing, both a noncompetitive and a competitive basketball tournament, and lots more outdoor exercise!
