Adventures

FIELD DAY: Kids wait for Field Day all year! Games and activities such as three-legged races, balloon toss, hole-in-one golf, and face painting fill the field. Kids get a passport to be stamped at every station and can turned in at the end of the event for an ice cream. Teachers and parents participate in this fun event that is designed to provide one last exciting day before the end of school. This year's event will be held on June 19th.

FIFTH GRADE CAMP: The two night stay at Camp Colemen is a 'Rites of Passage' for the fifth graders at North Beach. All the fifth graders get to participate in a three day excursion to the Peninsula for a stay at Camp Colemen. This environmental educational camp is located on the shores of the Puget Sound and is comprised of one hundred acres of forest and beach. While at the camp the kids partake in nature study classes and interpretive walks in the forests. Other activities include archery, crafts, games, dances and campfires. Row boats and canoes are available in the lagoon which is also open for swimming. This year fifth grade students will work the Sock Hop to raise money to help send them to camp. The camp will be in June.

KINDERGARTEN WELCOME NIGHT: Kindergarteners and their parents are often nervous about the first day of elementary school. It helps if they have been familiarized with their new classroom and teacher. Before the first day of school, new kindergarteners and their parents are invited to meet their teacher and visit their classroom. This is also an excellent time for the students to meet their classmates and begin to form friendships.

KINDERGARTEN SUMMER PLAYDATES: The transition from preschool to kindergarten can be hard especially if you do not know anyone who will be going to your new school. That is why we have organized playdates throughout the summer that meet at the school playground. These playdates are hosted by former kindergarten parents and provide a great opportunity for children to meet each other before school starts. This also gives them the chance to familiarize themselves with the school grounds and hopefully, make those first few days of school a little more enjoyable.
