Track & Field - 3rd Grade

This is a whole day event for the kids at McKinley Elementary and I am pretty sure all of the parents are here.  All. Of. Them.  Literally, you have to park blocks and blocks away and there are just as many parents as there are kids standing around.  I will say, this school knows how to make Track & Field day a ton of fun for the kids.  The only thing missing is ribbons, oh how I loved winning a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even 5th place ribbon as a child.  At least they can still win, it is just as a class rather than on an individual basis. 

I was able to watch for about 2 hours this year and showed up just after Quinn's class won the Tug-o-War.  You could hear the cheers and yells as far as I was away (remember...blocks and blocks).  Here is Quinn posing with the plaque that his class will hold until next year.

This is Mrs. Magee, Quinn's teacher.  He spends half of the day with her focusing on Reading and Writing and the Arts and the other half of the day with Mr. Hirte (who he LOVES) and they work on Math, History & Science.

I thought that I had taken a lot of pictures of this day, but as it turns out they were mostly videos.  This is a still shot of Quinn getting ready to do his part of the relay race., (The video will not play).  As it turns out, Quinn's class won the relay as well and earned a Golden Shoe that will keep the Tug-O-War plaque company in their classroom.  Way to go 3rd graders!!!

Quinn earned a BLUE in ALL events!!  Way to go Quinny!

It's fun to think that next year Luke will be here too and I will have to split my time between both boys!
