Field Day Rescheduled for Nov. 20

Field Day Nov. 20

8:30 - 12:30

Family Life Center, First Baptist Church

We have lots of fun activities planned. Parents, please prepare/ bring the following things for your children on this day

• 2 empty, rinsed out cans (like from tomato sauce or soup or veggies - size doesn't matter) PER CHILD. Before you come, pierce each can twice, once on each side so that when it is turned upside down with the open end down, the holes are big enough to pass a string through(we're providing the string there). The holes should be pretty close to the "up" end of the can which is what the children will be standing on. These are the stilts.
• change of clothes (we're having an egg toss)
• towel
• picnic lunch for your family
• cooler of water or other drinks for your family
• camera

Our list of activities and moms who are in charge of each are as follows:

1. Stilts - Kerry Floyd
2. Sack Races - Melanie
3. Tug-of-War - Stacey Diamond
4. Plate Toss/ Discus - Carrie Faircloth
5. Apple Strings - Kelli
6. Egg Toss - Beth
7. 3-legged race - Marilyn
8. Jump Rope - Stacey Diamond --- this activity is an alternative
