We are incredibly excited to have a student designed shirt!  4th grade students Seneca & Alyssa bid on and won the opportunity to design the shirt at the PTA Fall Fest!   Funds raised from the sale of Field Day shirts go towards paying for inflatables and generator rentals for Field Day, which will happen on May 12th.  

Each grade level has been assigned a shirt color that will auto-populate when you select your student's grade level and teacher.  

Shirts are $11 and will be delivered already sorted to the school and then will be sent home with your student the week before Field Day (we will send a message to let you know to expect them when we send them home). Parent shirts are also available in grey but please be sure to enter your student's name on the name line if you purchase a parent shirt so we can be sure to get that shirt home to you.  If you'd prefer to color coordinate with your student, you are welcome to do that as well, just be sure to enter your student's name so we can get the shirt to you.

Students are not required to buy a Field Day shirt of course but we would love the support.  If you opt not to buy one, please try to have your kiddo wear a shirt that is the same or similar color to their assigned Field Day shirt (which is labeled in the attached picture.

Shirts must be ordered online and the store will close on April 15.  We CANNOT order additional shirts once the company closes the store.

To order a shirt, go to our Spirit store here:   https://stores.spiritworx.com/19059

PurposeFull Pursuit

Review Cooperation as a family! Search through your cabinets for some board games your family hasn't played in a while, or grab a deck of cards for a simple game of Go Fish. Pop some popcorn and have fun playing together! Look for moments of Cooperation that you can point out. 

For example;

• Choosing which game to play 

• Choosing who gets to go first 

• Handling wins and losses 

• Working together to solve a problem

Conversation Starters

• How do you know if you are Cooperating with others?

• Can you share a time this week when you practiced Cooperation? How did it make you feel?
