WINTER WONDERFEST SURVEY
Thank you to all the Field families for coming out to Winter Wonderfest! The committee would greatly appreciate you taking 2 minutes to complete the following satisfaction survey. As always, responses are completely anonymous. We want to continue improving Winter Wonderfest, so your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Who
All students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade can join the Running Club. There will be a two-week trial period for anyone who wants to try out FRC before committing to joining. Once committed, students are expected to participate each week and finish out the session.

What
Field students will have the opportunity to run during lunch recess and earn prizes while doing it! Runners receive a chain and a token for their chain for each mile they run. Special tokens will also be awarded for milestone distances and special occasions.

Where
Students will run a designated path on the grounds of Field School that will be monitored for safety by volunteer parents.

When
Beginning September 21st, kids can “try” the Running Club for 2 weeks to see if they want to commit for the fall session.  Weather permitting, we will run on Fridays every week until the Drumstick Dash.  All FRC students will meet outside at the designated FRC area.

How
If your child is interested in joining FRC, please complete and return the contract and waiver, Attn: Audra Stanley.  There will be a brief and mandatory informational meeting for all 3rd graders and any other student who did not participate in FRC last year.  This meeting will take just 10 minutes during lunch recess. We will discuss rules and expectations, appropriate attire, chains and tokens, etc. at this meeting.

Let us know if you have any questions.  We’re looking forward to another great year!

Would you like to order Field Running Club Gear? Send the order form in by Friday, September 20th!

Mom's Night Out was launched in 2009 as a chance for Field Moms to meet and get to know one another in a casual, social setting. It was a huge success, offering numerous connection opportunities within the Field School community. By collecting a $10 donation, we raise enough money to reduce other 'sales calls' throughout the year.
A HUGE thank you to all of the Mom's Night Out hostesses!

2019-2020 Theme: "Look Within"

Thank you to all of our Field students who participated in Reflections this year.  We are happy to announce that four Field students entries are advancing to the state level of competition.   Please congratulate Elin Seiler, Evan Seiler, Brynn Richardson, and Moxey Wehrle.  Good Luck Falcons !    

Elmhurst Celebration

Please mark your calendars for the Elmhurst Reflections Celebration.  Our opening celebration is Friday, March 13 at Judith B. Salon starting at 6:00pm.  All Elmhurst students entries will be on display at the building from March 13 to April 19.  More information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Here’s how you can help

*If you haven’t already, join the PTA. More than half of your membership fee goes to IL PTA, but the other portion is used for Field. Joining the PTA does not obligate you to do anything, it just ensures you stay informed!
*Support our fundraisers. 96% of our funding comes from fundraisers, like the ones below:
*Winter Wonderfest: This is a family-style carnival with games and prizes. Funds are raised with tickets, and raffles. Usually held after the new year.
*Square 1 Art: These are art projects done in school that you can then purchase on a mug, keychain, or other keepsake. More information coming soon.
*Mom’s Night Out: This is a $10 donation made to reduce other “sales calls” throughout the year and allow moms to meet and get to know one another in a casual setting.
*Support our incentive programs. This includes Eat & Earn opportunities at local restaurants.
*  Give your time. Throughout the year, we’ll be sending information and links on how you can get involved in the school. These opportunities are a fun way to make a connection with yourchild’s school.

Thank you for everything you do for our children! To find out even more, please visit http://field.elmhurst205.org/pta

Current Volunteer Opportunities:

Library Volunteers Needed

Got an hour or so to spare every other week?  Consider being a library volunteer and help re-shelve returned books.  Volunteers commit to a regular schedule of at least one hour every other week. You’ll have a set day and morning or afternoon time slot to volunteer, but you can pick the exact time you want to arrive and work your minimum one hour shift.  If you can’t commit to a regular schedule, but still want to help you can volunteer on a fill-in basis.   It’s a pretty easy volunteer job and Mrs. Talbot and Mrs. Ishida will show you where the books go.  Plus, you might get to see your kids.  If you are interested, please contact Kristin Sokol – kristinwilde@hotmail.com.
