Heilicher Maccabi Games and Color Run: Important Information for Tomorrow
The Heilicher Maccabi Games (field day) and the Heilicher Color Run are tomorrow, Friday, June 2! Please send your child(ren) to school in their team color. Students do not need to bring any of their regular school supplies or large backpacks, and we encourage them to come with just a small bag big enough to hold sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, bug spray and a lunch if they opted out of the hot lunch. It would be great if you could help your child(ren) apply a first layer of sunscreen and bug spray before leaving for school on Friday.
LUNCH/SNACK
Lunch and a morning snack will be provided for all students free of charge. If you opted out of lunch for tomorrow, please pack them a parve or dairy lunch. Morning snack will consist of apples and Cheez-Its. If you want to send a different snack for your child(ren), please feel free to do so.
SCHEDULE
Maccabi Games will take place in the morning from 8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Students will participate in three activities. After the Maccabi Games closing ceremonies, we will have an all-school lunch followed by Kabbalat Shabbat. We plan to do both lunch and Kabbalat Shabbat indoors to give the students a break from the heat. After Kabbalat Shabbat the entire school will return to the field for the Heilicher Color Run. As of today we have raised $22,896! There is still time to donate. The color run will start at 1:30 p.m., and dismissal will start at 2 p.m.
THE HEILICHER COLOR RUN
The Heilicher Color Run celebrating the students’ fundraising efforts will begin at 1:30 p.m. followed by popsicles and songs. Please join us! Heilicher families are invited to watch a noncompetitive race around the field, where students will be showered in safe, eco-friendly, powdered chalk as they go, giving them each a unique tie-dye look. Heilicher will provide each student with a custom white Heilicher Color Run T-shirt for the run. While the chalk is washable, please be aware there is potential for it to leave a stain — please plan shoes and other clothing accordingly.
DISMISSAL AT 2 P.M.
Dismissal and HaBonim will start at 2 p.m. Students will be dismissed from the field rather than their classrooms. Homeroom teachers and advisers will have sign-out sheets on the field. If you are attending the afternoon activities and plan to take your child(ren) directly from the field, please be sure to sign out with their homeroom teacher before leaving for the weekend.
If you are unable to join us outside for the color run, we ask that at dismissal you drive to the field and form a car line along the edge of the field, starting at the large rock. Please stay in your car and put your blue or yellow sign in the window as you normally would.
