The colors green and gold took on a whole new meaning as students at the Willow Road School were placed into two teams before the start of the school’s annual field day events. The students enjoyed friendly competition including the potato sack race, tug of war, relay races, jumping rope, dancing and more. Each event was held in a different location in the Willow Road School.
In the gymnasium, students danced to the beat with DJ Ben from Signature Sounds, while both playgrounds and the ballfield were filled with students laughing and enjoying a picnic and other field day activities.
Field day would not have been possible without the hard work and detailed planning of Willow Road School physical education teacher Peter Gatto together with Principal Stephanie Capozzoli, PTA Co-Presidents Lisa Modica and Joanne Naumov, and representative Cheryl Cirri. Additional thanks to Applebees of Valley Stream and Rita's Ices for their very generous donations of lunch and ices for all the students to enjoy.
At the end of the day, everyone was a winner. Another field day came to an end, but the memories will last a lifetime.
