With support from his son Mason and other student leaders from Pueblo South High School, Coach Lane directed his 25th Field Day, which allowed Eagles, and staff, to partake in a number of fun and athletic activities.

Field day will start at 8:30 tomorrow. Parents are welcome to attend. Please bring your ID and check in at the office if you plan on attending. We will have water on sale for $1. Students must apply sunscreen at home. Teachers are not able to reapply sunscreen to students at school, so please plan accordingly. Students are also not able to share sunscreen due to allergy reasons. We will have a foam machine for the field day. Students need to bring a change of clothes for the field day if they plan on getting wet at the water activities or getting in the foam from the foam machine. We will not have the capacity to have students come to the office to call for clothes. Please have students bring clothing in their backpacks.

As a Leader in Me Lighthouse School, we annually undertake a service-learning project.
