GreenMount Field Day 2019
The whistle blows, the kids go wild! Kicking off the long weekend this Friday was the annual GreenMount field day, a lively event where TCS students help GreenMount 8th graders facilitate the younger kids in field games like sack racing and tug-of-war. Each TCS student was assigned to a team with the GreenMount students. With Mr. Eduardo, the dynamic gym teacher at the lead, the students went through various activities with the younger kids. Some TCS students even bonded with some younger students. GreenMount field day is always a great opportunity for TCS to show leadership in the community. We are hoping to work even more closely with GreenMount in the coming year so that TCS students may step into a mentoring role for the younger students.
At the end of the day, TCS went up against the GreenMount 8th graders in a game of tug-of-war. Last year the 8th graders won, but this year TCS pulled ahead! The event culminated in popsicles, and a speech from Mr. Eduardo. Mr. Tom and a couple of the students got a chance to thank GreenMount for their hospitality in hosting our gym classes over the year. This year’s field day was a successful opportunity for TCS to practice leadership skills and get connected with the community!
