Field Day - Elizabeth

Elizabeth's school also had Field Day last week, our first at SMS.  All 10 grades (pre-K through 8) participate in Field Day together, and do all of the same events - depending on the grade, the event is either painful, hilarious or incredibly competitive.  After the lunch break, there is a class versus class tug 'o war competition (that is very competitive), a teacher competition (with plenty of pushing and shoving), and then the day ends with the 8th Grade Challenge, which is the beginning of school's week-long 8th grade send off.  It was pretty neat to spend the day there and watch all of the events, as well as the school spirit and camaraderie involved in the post-lunch events.
