It was Thatcher's last year of doing Sports Day at Peabody. Only the lower grades participate.
I forgot about this hairdo he was into. Glad it was just a short phase. 😂
Sports Day is fun because it is like one big recess with a little competition between classrooms thrown in.
The competition kicks off with a team cheer. I am surprised Thatcher chose to be the sign holder in the back because he isn't trying to hide. He has no fear in dancing/singing in front of anyone. I think he took that sign holding spot as a leadership position because you can see he is yelling the cheer with everything he's got! 😂
If it looks even a little warm, it's not. The May Gray seems to always been in full effect on this one day each year and despite all the water events, most of the kids are having so much fun even though it is freezing.
The upper graders participate in a track meet at San Marcos High School.
After each event you sit according to where you place if you are in the top percent. Samantha still holds fastest runner for all the running events.
Samantha's long legs and determination secured her the top spot in all the individual running events. She just got inched out by a 6th grader in the relay run but you don't get to choose your teammates 😉 and she needs to work on her high jump. 🤣
It blows my mind how fast Sam is!
Track Meet Awards Ceremony
Little did these athletic girls know that there would be no track meet for their last year in elementary. 😢
