Field Day is Thursday!

It looks like the sun will shine at ESUMS Field Day at UNH on Thursday, June 2.

Parent volunteers are needed to set up, clean up, fill water jugs, fetch lunches, and hand out snacks any time between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.   Please note that this year, we will be on the main UNH campus, Kayo field (see map below, click for close-up), and the PTO will set up in the parking lot of the Arbeiter Maenner Chor.  Parking should be unrestricted.

Donations of snacks and cups for water are also needed and can be dropped off in the office on Wednesday or even early Thursday morning.  We could also use a volunteer to drive the water jugs from the school to UNH.


Please come out and volunteer; it's always a good event and a lot of fun!
