WEBUTUCK — As an annual end-of-school-year tradition to celebrate the kick off to summer, Webutuck Elementary School (WES) students took to the fields behind the high school for their annual Field Day, on Tuesday, June 14.

Running from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., WES students were divided by their classes. They were quite organized as they arrived at Field Day wearing T-shirts that reflected which color their class had been designated for Field Day this year. The Webutuck PTA provided all of the colorful T-shirts worn by students for the day.

Out of a total of 13 stations, this year’s Field Day encouraged the young students to take part in an obstacle course, an art station, a javelin/discus throw, a ring toss, a relay, a soccer dribble/shot relay along with many other fun and fairly exhausting activities.

Water stations were made available on the field to keep students hydrated throughout the morning and afternoon.

Webutuck families were invited to attend Field Day  to watch the students and enjoy the festivities from the sidelines.
