Elementary students participate in an "Olympic Day." The day is filled
with fun, competition, and featured activities all centered around an
Olympic theme. Olympic Day begins with an assembly and a parade of
flags. With each class representing a country, students file in behind
leaders carrying the United States flag. The parade of flags moves from
the school's gym to the loop around the outside of the school, then
concludes with a torch relay conducted by sixth grade students who have
passed all areas of the National Physical Fitness tests.
Next students
compete in six events which include a softball throw, Frisbee throw,
running long jump, 75 and 100 yard dashes, cross-country run, and a
basketball shooting contest. First, second and third place girl and boy
winners of each event in each grade level receive gold, silver, and
bronze medals at the awards ceremony the following day. Students learn
many facts about the Olympics as they enjoy a beautiful day in the sun
and picnic lunch.
