• May 17, 2024 is our annual Field and Hot Dog Day!
Some must-knows for you are right here!
1.) Want to volunteer at the event? https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084DA4AA2FA3F85-48684800-2024#/ is your magic carpet to signing up!
2.) Need Safe Parish training prior to volunteering? All teachers, staff, and parent volunteers are required to have this certification. https://www.archindy.org/hr/safe-home.html is where you can start the process. The passcode is archindy2021.
3.) Can't volunteer? Would you like to make a donation to help offset the costs? You can send a donation to the office in an envelope marked "Field Day." It's just that easy!
4.) Wondering how to dress your kid/kids? has each child's group and shirt color. Please check it out! In addition, typical sneakers/gym shoes, socks, and shorts are perfect for the day.
5.) What else do the kids need? Sunscreen, dry towel, and a water bottle labeled with your child's name in a drawstring bag or backpack is fine.
6.) What about lunch? Our Hearts for Haiti ministry will grill fresh hot dogs for everyone. The cafeteria will serve carrots, chips, cookie, and a small water. Needler's Market provides an abundance of fresh fruit!
7.) Does this event happen come rain or shine? Yes. In the case of rain, we will bring the games indoors during the morning. Then kids will enjoy movies in the afternoon. However, we plan on abundant sunshine and warm temperatures!
Finally, dismissal happens a little differently on May 17th. Cars will stage in the north church parking lot, then at 2:45 pm the traffic enters the south lot. We will dismiss either from the hillside or the gym, depending on the weather.
Lots of details but loads of fun!
