Field Day is tomorrow, and we’ve got a full schedule of games, goals, and—eventually—gallons of water. Here’s the play-by-play:

8:30 AM – 11:00 AM: K-2nd Grade (The "High Energy" Crew)

12:45 PM – 3:10 PM: 3rd-6th Grade (The "Competitive" Crew)

3:10 PM The Fire Trucks arrive to spray down the kids! 🚒🚿

The Survival Kit:
☀️ Sunscreen: Even with a high of 73°F, those rays are real!
💧 Water Bottle: Please label it with your child’s name (unless you want to donate one to our already overflowing lost and found).
🧺 A Towel: Unless you want your car to double as a mobile swamp on the drive home!

If you didn't sign up to volunteer and you would like to, please come. We will not tun away free volunteers who think field day is their jam.

🚨 BREAKING: LOCAL WATER BOTTLE POPULATION REACHES CRITICAL MASS

Reporting live from the hallway, where the Lost and Found bin has officially declared itself a sovereign nation. We have currently identified 14 identical blue hoodies, a lone dinosaur bootie, and a lunchbox that hasn't seen its owner since the Great Recess of '25.

If your child is currently hydrating via cupped hands because their water bottle "vanished into thin air," it’s probably here. Come stage a rescue mission before the pile learns how to open doors! 🚪🏃💨

On Saturday, April 25, students from 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 9th grade proudly represented the Weber School District Bates Elementary and North Ogden Junior High Chinese Dual Language Immersion programs at Safe Kids Day.

In front of thousands of students and families, our students shared the beauty and energy of the Chinese language and culture through Chinese songs, kung fu, fan dance, and the traditional art of face-changing. While the community came together to learn important safety lessons, they also experienced the vibrant spirit of our Chinese programs.

We are so proud of our students for representing our schools with confidence, talent, and cultural pride. Events like this show that language learning is not only academic, but also joyful, meaningful, and full of life.
