Water and a snack will be provided by the PTA; but, if you wish to carry your own water bottle with you, you may. Be sure to put your name on it and take it from station to station.

FOR ALL OF THE AWESOME VOLUNTEERS, all of the above applies to you too. Also, if the back parking lot fills up, please use the overflow parking at the church next door. If you are volunteering for the entire day you will be served lunch by the PTA.

If it RAINS on Friday - Field Day will be postponed to Monday, May 19th; everything else will remain the same.
