Field Day Teamwork

Field Day at Goodrich is always a fantastic day, rain or shine, and this year was no exception! Mrs. Weber puts in countless hours of hard work whether it be researching and developing games, sorting through her "closet" of equipment, assigning parents to games, creating rain plans, loading and unloading the equipment from her truck and dozens of other things I have not mentioned.

None of this can be done without a tremendous amount of teamwork from all that are involved. Each field day, Mrs. Weber, her mother and I begin the day by taking loads of equipment up to the field to get each station set up. We problem solve together when we need to adjust games due to the weather or wind. Finally, all is set up and we can head back in before the team of parents arrive to receive their station for the afternoon.

Before we know it, the kids with their classroom staff are making their way up the hill to start the afternoon they have been anxiously awaiting to arrive. They get to their designated station and the games can finally begin. They work together at each game, having a blast and building relationships along the way.

The whole day is filled with teamwork and shows what a great community we have here at Goodrich School. Kudos Mrs. Weber for another job well done!

Have a safe and enjoyable summer vacation and see you next fall!
