*There is a concession stand from which to buy food; feel free to pack a picnic lunch/snacks if
you so desire!
*Please have your child “check-in” with me over at the ball throw area. (This is my way of
taking attendance. I also enjoy hearing how your child’s day is going.)
*If your child is an alternate for the grade relay, please have them be there for the event just in case another child does not show up.
*If you can, stay for the school relay (final event) and cheer Zion on!

weather clothes, hat, stocking hat, athletic shoes, snow boots, fuzzy bunny slippers…who
