Field Day is on Wednesday, May 24!
We are still about 20 volunteers short of what we need for a successful field day. It is a super fun day and might be worth taking time off of work to have fun with our DVA families and get volunteer hours completed. We will need volunteers from 8:30 to 11:30 at Alberta Banks Park (Ivester Early College if it is a "rain day" plan). Please drop your students off at school first--they will be getting ready with their homeroom team and arriving by school bus. High School age DVA alumni that are 16+ years of age may volunteer with their parents and any adult DVA alumni may also volunteer. If you are checking your child out after field day you MUST do so from school. They need to ride back to school on the bus.
We need at least two volunteers for each station on the sign-up.
