    Dear Echo Horizon Community,

    We are excited to announce that our All-school Field Day theme this year revolves around countries, with each class wearing a different colored t-shirt representing their assigned country.

    The event will kick off with an opening ceremony on the Big Yard, where our students will proudly parade with their country's flag before settling into designated spots. Ms. Procter will then lead everyone in spirited cheers and share important announcements. Following this, we will proceed to Syd Kronenthal Park for the day's festivities.

    To ensure everyone's comfort, this year's Field Day will take place in the morning. The day will feature four rotations, with two Echo Horizon faculty/staff members and two parent volunteers overseeing each grade level.

    If you have any questions or concerns about Field Day 2024, please do not hesitate to contact Peggy Procter and Zach Bianchi. We look forward to having some outdoor fun together on May 3rd!

    Warm regards,
    Mr. Bianchi and Ms. Procter
