Unwind, compete, and put the "T" in team

The annual Middle School Field Day is an end of the year rite. Sure they're fun, but they are more. Broken into teams (each team has a designated color), students compete—not against other teams, but against themselves.

Students poured onto the football field for a couple of hours of games such as circle tag, crab ball, four-way tug-a-war, two-man sack race, chewing gum competition, and plank walk. It is the culmination of a year of of character education designed to teach personal qualities of responsibility, hope, sharing, honesty, and respect.
