Field Day
The PTA’s primary goal for the TJ Connor Field Day is FUN.
Fun for everyone - kids, teachers, staff, and parent volunteers.
In June, the PTA hosts, organizes and sponsors the annual field day at TJ Connor. Field Day is a day for acknowledging the hard work and effort everyone put in throughout the year, and looking forward to that well-earned summer break. In 2022, Field day is scheduled for Friday, June 10.
All of the K-5 students enjoy a half days worth of fun, outdoor events. The K-2 students participate in their Field Day in the morning, and grades 3-5 participate in the afternoon. Each class competes with other classes in their grade level, so the competition is a team effort. In many instances, the kids need to work together to perform a particular task as quickly as possible.
New in 2022 is a Field Day for Middle and High School students! It is scheduled on Friday, May 27.

For example, one of the favorite Field Day games is Save the Ducky. A small, yellow, rubber duck is at the bottom of a 3-ft plastic tube and needs to be saved. Several students must plug the holes in the plastic tube with their hands, while other students pour water into the top of the tube to raise the water level and the rubber duck to the top of the tube.

After all the crazy games, the laughter, the fun, each child in each class receives a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal at an awards ceremony. It’s a day to remember!

The planning of this event is quite extensive because it involves half the school participating at one time, and the execution of that plan hinges on the involvement of our parent volunteers. We had over 65 parent volunteers last year and we could not have done it without each and every one of them.
If you would like to volunteer at our next Field Day, please fill out the Field Day Parent Volunteer Form below and send it in to the T.J. Connor Main Office.
