Students at Highland Park Elementary are getting an early start on beating the heat. Today – second-to-last day of school – is Field Day, and PE teacher Chellie LaFayette tells us that means bonus outdoor fun.

The younger students’ Field Day fun was earlier this morning, and the older kids will be out this afternoon.

P.S. Highland Park kids work hard in the classroom too, but as reported here last weekend, are facing the loss of a reading-tutor program – this Sunday brings a chance for you to help.

Thanks so much for covering this. What a joyful day it was at HPE – with so many volunteers there to help spread the love. Ms. LaFayette is an amazing addition to our school and I can’t thank her enough for all that she does – all year long! Clearly her field day is a labour of love. I am so grateful for Highland Park Elementary.

I happened by this wonderful event while walking my dogs this morning and just have to say–it looked like so much fun! It clearly took an impressive amount of planning and effort and was just a blast to watch. The kids were so happy!
