Firefighter Appreciation Day and Field Day
American Academy will be celebrating Firefighter Appreciation Day in conjunction with elementary field day this year on Thursday, May 23rd. Our field day t-shirts are a special edition shirt designed by Chad Riggs to show our support for those who serve us through the fire departments. Our PE teachers have worked to incorporate firefighter training stations into their field day rotations. We will also be hosting a “Fill the Boot” campaign with an American Academy twist. Our campaign will be “Fill the Boot with Notes of Kindness”. We will also be providing lunch to the active and retired firefighters who are able to stop by the campus.
We would be forever grateful to those who could assist in donating refreshments and/or desserts for our honored Firefighters:
It’s not too late to RSVP for the Firefighter Appreciation Day Lunch! If you would like to sign an active or retired Firefighter up to attend our Appreciation Day, please RSVP on the link below:
Ms. Matthews, our incredible elementary PE teacher, has several volunteer opportunities still available for field day and would be forever grateful to those who could assist. Volunteers will be provided lunch! Please click on the links below to sign up.
Like last year, this years field day will be an all day event for grades 1-5. Your student(s) can expect to find some familiar stations like last years face painting and temporary colored hair spray paint, as well as some new stations like STEM. Since we will be outside for most of the day, please make sure to send your student(s) to school wearing sunscreen and with a water bottle. Other highlights include a water station, field game station and firefighter station. If you have specific questions regarding any events please contact Ms. Matthews kmatthews@aak8.org
