Site Council & Nerd Day

This has certainly been a busy week here at Field. The students (and staff...see pictures below) have had a great time being creative and dressing up for the different spirit days. I'm looking forward to Fall Festival on Friday evening and hope to see you there. This will be a great time to celebrate the end of first quarter and build community among our families.

Earlier this week we had our first Site Council meeting of the year. Thank you to those parents and staff that participated. You can find the complete minutes posted on the Site Council portion of our web page (http://sps.k12.mo.us/field/site_council.htm). One of our agenda items was a discussion about our needs... great and small.  While it was determined that all items were worthy of completion, there were a few highlighted as possible starting points. These items included: listening centers, risers for use with Smart boards in lower grade classrooms, additional computers for student use in classrooms, and funding for Spanish related field trips.  The complete list of needs is posted on the Site Council page on the Field website. After viewing the list, please let us know if there is a need you believe you can help us see through to a reality.

Thanks for reading!

Hola! We had a great day today at Field.
We were honored to host Paco and His Band today from Tlaquepaque, Mexico. They are here in Springfield this week through the Sister City Organization. Here are a few pictures from the assembly. Our 5th graders did a wonderful job singing a song for them to close the assembly. Have a great weekend!
