Good Afternoon, We are excited to announce that we are having our field day 6/4/2025. Due to the limited size this year we were able to secure spots at Grafton and Moreau State parks to make a memorable field day for all of our kids. Grades K-2 will be going to Moreau State Park and Grades 3-5 will be going to Grafton. The goal is to send the entire building on this field trip for field day. We are trying our brand new, online permission slip. It is attached to our Van website! under the field day button.
