Warwick Neck Elementary School's Annual Field Day will be held (weather permitting) during the academic day -- Tuesday, June 4th -- on the grounds of the school. (Due to rain, the event has been postponed from its original date of Thursday, May 30th).
The community was notified via email and text message of this date change at 5:42 PM on Weds., May 29th. Please see the following email from our Principal, Mr. Galligan, relating to changes for the event:
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Families,
We held off as long as we could, but unfortunately the weather forecast has not improved significantly enough for us to feel comfortable with holding Field Day tomorrow. In the interest of safety with regards to field conditions, student and volunteer comfort outside, and ensuring everyone can enjoy the day - we are postponing Field Day to its rain date of next Tuesday, June 4th.
Please take note of the following important points below that impact both Thursday, May 30th and Tuesday, June 4th:
1.) Parent Volunteers
A volunteer flyer is attached below. We are hopeful those who took the day off tomorrow can switch to next Tuesday, June 4th. However, if not, we hope that others may consider to join us on a safer day, with better field and weather conditions. Please see the attached volunteer flyer and remember that all volunteers must be BCI-cleared in advance of the day. Parents should reach out to the PTA with any questions; their email has been included below.
2.) IMPORTANT -- Field Day Lunch (June 4th)
-- The PTA has generously offered to purchase a Field Day lunch for all students. Each child was given the choice of selecting a (#1) Hamburger/Cheeseburger, (#2) Hot Dog, or (#3) Muffin Fun Lunch with a bag of chips, fresh watermelon, and White/Chocolate Milk yesterday in advance of the Field Day.
-- Since Field Day has been moved, whatever your child selected yesterday as a choice will be moved from tomorrow to next Tuesday, June 4th. Lunch on Field Day next Tuesday is free for all students.
3.) IMPORTANT - Changes to May 30th Lunch Choices at WNS
-- Please note that due to last minute change of Field Day, the menu options of Hamburger/Cheeseburger, Hot Dog, and/or a Muffin Fun lunch will take the place of the original choices scheduled on the district's lunch menu at Warwick Neck tomorrow, May 30th since the food is in the process of being prepared.
-- Any student who goes through the lunch line tomorrow will be charged for the lunch (and in the case of those receiving free and reduced meals, it will be applied accordingly). Students who normally bring a lunch from home should still bring a lunch from home and not go through the line.
We are looking forward to a fun-filled day next week and appreciate your patience and understanding of our desire to keep the day safe and dry for all participants. We hope that many of you will be able to still join in the fun of the day next Tuesday, June 4th and encourage you to reach out to the PTA with any questions via email here.
Thank you,
Mr. Galligan
