Fourth-grade students at Hilltop Elementary School and C.H. Campbell Elementary School came together June 1 and met up with some old friends and made new ones at the schools’ annual Field Day at Canfield High School football field.
The students had a chance to mingle with each other before the classes merge at Canfield Village Middle School in the fall.
Each fourth-grade class at Hilltop Elementary School was paired up with a fourth-grade class at C.H. Campbell Elementary School and they enjoyed the games and races together as a group. Each class at each school was assigned a color of T-shirt to wear and when they got to the field, the students with the same color shirts from each school were placed together for the day.
After the classes had met, they walked around the track with the Olympic theme playing in the background and carried several countries’ flags to start the field day. They then all filed into the stands and had a class photo taken.
The students had several stations of fun and games to participate in together, including sack races, a bounce around, jump rope, Frisbee throw, hula hoops, ring toss and playing with a rainbow-colored parachute.
PTO parent volunteers were on hand to help the students at each station.
The students were given popsicles and bottles of water to keep them cool. The PTO from both schools provided the students with lunch, which included pizza and wings. Parent volunteers from both schools provided water, chips, cookies, brownies and watermelon for the students’ lunch, which they ate in the athletic foyer of the high school.
