Field Day!
We are beginning preparations for FIELD DAY! The plan is to feature 10-12 ten minute stations. Each station is designed to be high, medium, or low/recovery intensity- all hope to be maximum fun. Teachers rotate with their students from station to station. Stations themselves are led by family volunteers who give game play instructions, safety expectations, and then facilitate some fun. Physical activity is a major component to a fit lifestyle, we want our kids to know a workout doesn’t have to be work, it can be a playout too!
If you would like to volunteer to run a station please email armstrong.kerry@brevardschools.org Teachers will stay with their classes during the event. Each station has a fun, easy to follow lesson, and most are familiar to the students. Volunteers will stay at a station to run it. Every 10 minutes a new group of kids will rotate through. Please arrive 20-30 minutes before your group’s time. VOLUNTEERS MUST BE FINGER PRINTED-DISTRICT APPROVED.

K-1st: 8:05 to 10:05
2nd-3rd: 10:10 to 12:10

Name the Indialantic Eagle
Each class will come up with a name for our Indialantic Elementary Eagle. The names will be reviewed and approved by administration and an optional name list will be created. The class that receives the most donations between 1/19 – 2/9 will receive the honor of naming the Eagle. The name and class will be revealed at Jog-a-thon during the run. This is one of MANY fun incentives for donations to our annual jog-a-thon. This year we will be keeping 100% of cash/check and 97% of online donations.
SAVE the dates: Thursday, January 19th – after school hours for Mural reveal and Jog-a-thon Kick-off
Friday, February 10th – Jog-a-thon
Parents can come to help supervise the run, however MUST be an approved volunteer. If not an approved volunteer, please do so immediately to allow time for application to get approved: https://fl02201431.schoolwires.net/Page/11104.
