Hello Panther Families,

The OPEN National Field Day event is Friday, May 8th!

Field Day is an important tradition at our school. It is a significant day for our students and our staff, and we feel that in
these incredibly challenging times this national event is a unique way that we can stay connected as a community and
support one another in a fun and meaningful way.

All #NationalFieldDay events are designed to be done indoors or outdoors using common household items. You won’t be
asked to purchase any specialized equipment or supplies. May is also National Physical Fitness & Sports Month! This is a
great time to participate in some Fun Family Fitness!

Over 54 Cobb County Schools have registered for this national event. Here is how you can participate with us!
