We are so excited for our annual field day - Gator Games!
FAQs:
What should my student bring?
- a towel, a change of clothes, a water bottle. LABEL ALL ITEMS PLEASE
What should my student wear?
- closed toed shoes for safe running, sunscreen (pre-applied), clothes that can get wet (swimsuits must be covered)
Can parents attend?
- Yes, please come join the fun! Parents spectating and volunteers will check in outside at the designated table in the back (cafeteria side) of the building.
- Please see the schedule and map below to find your Gator's class.
- Following Gator Games, we ask that families do not enter the building as students head back to classrooms. If you have any needs, please enter through the office so we can assist you!
What is it rains?
We have plans for ALL situations.
- If it has rained and the fields are wet, we will have some alternate activities that will still involve water games. We will use the same timeframe as planned.
- If it is actively raining, we will have to shift to the rain day plan for everything to be indoors. Each grade level will have 1 hour of activities beginning at the following times:
5th - 8:00, 4th - 9:05, 3rd - 10:10, PK/K - 11:15, 1st - 12:20, 2nd - 1:25
- Please send students with extra clothes and prepared for water games no matter the weather!

If you are still missing a book, please return it at your earliest convenience!
Missing a book? Be sure to encourage your Gator to look:
In the car
Under the bed
On your home bookshelves
In the classroom library
In other book boxes, desks, etc. in the classroom
Library books are often misplaced, but aren't usually lost forever. Let's find them!
If you have any questions about a missing book or (worst case scenario) need information on replacement fees, please feel free to contact Mrs. Holt at kholt@dentonisd.org.
Summer Reading
Summer Reading
Our Summer Reading Challenge this year will be completed on Beanstack!
The challenge will begin on May 25th and continue through August 9th. To complete the challenge students will need to finish 1,000 minutes of reading. That sounds like a lot - but is just 90 minutes per week.
We know that students who read regularly over the summer keep their skills up and avoid the summer slide as they head into the next grade level. So we encourage your Gator to read every day!
Follow the Savannah Elementary Library on Facebook where we will be posting more summer reading opportunities, Beanstack leaders, the Bookmobile schedule, and more!
Feel free to contact Mrs. Holt with any questions!
