Sport's Day is a two-day event that is held at the end of the school year. One day is designated for the 1st-3rd grade students and the second day is the for the 4th-5th graders. The event lasts 3 hours and consists of ten relay/game stations for the students to rotate through. The students are broken into ten groups of approximately 35-40 students per group and they spend approximately ten minutes at each station. In 2010, the stations consisted of: bucket brigade relay, sponge relay, scoop ball toss, parachute volley, basketball, baton relay, frisbee toss, potato sack races, tug of war, and football.
This event is typically held the Thursday and Friday prior to the last day of school. The students enjoy participating and especially enjoy the water activities.
