Dear Families,  

We’re excited to announce that Mark DeLay Elementary will be participating in the

Mark DeLay Field Day event on the week of May 31st!

Field Day is an important tradition in our school district. It is a significant day for our students and our staff, and we feel that in these incredibly challenging times this national event is a unique way that we can stay connected as a community and support one another in a fun and meaningful way.

All #NationalFieldDay events are designed to be done indoors or outdoors using common household items. You won’t be asked to purchase any specialized equipment or supplies.

Here’s how it will work:

• Our school is now registered as a participant in this event. Families can choose to register as well, but it’s not a requirement.

• You can also find updates via social media using #NationalFieldDay.

• Descriptions and Videos of activities have been posted on the Mr. Nash's PE LINKS PAGE on SeeSaw and on this page.

• Your family will be asked to choose a minimum of 5 events to complete on Field Day. However, you may complete as many events as you’d like to.

• On the week of May 24th-May 28th, our entire school will participate in events, share photos and videos through our school’s twitter and SeeSaw page, photos can be emailed (with parent permission) to dnash@darien61.org for posting on the site and/or Twitter.

We will continue to send you weekly updates on this fun and festive event. We appreciate your cooperation and are hopeful that your entire family will use it as a fun and meaningful way to be physically active together and with our entire school community.

Stay well,

Mr. Nash

For Today, pick a Field Day game or do both. Before, during or after the activity take a picture, do a video or draw a picture of the activity you did and post it on your Physical Education SeeSaw page.

Post your National Field Day pictures on Mr. Nash's SeeSaw class.
