It wasn't supposed to rain today!!The 4th and 5th graders at Pine Hill were scheduled to have their annual Field Day, a fun afternoon of field games and friendship....all good stuff, all so much better than school work!!
About 25 parents volunteered to set up the field, and then oversee the activities. I was placed as " jail watcher" in a game of Capture The Flag. But unfortunately, my warden skills were never tested. For about a half hour, we waited for the rain to let up, hoping that about #200 happy kids would soon come charging down to the field. But unfortunately, it became clear that the weather would not compromise and the principal needed to make a very unpopular decision. Field Day 2011 was cancelled. The volunteers gathered all the equipment and all that was left was a picture of a very lonely field on a very rainy day.
