Color Day - Wednesday, November 25th, 9:30-11:30AM
We are excited to host our first virtual Color Day on Wednesday, November 25th from 9:30-11:30! Students will have the opportunity to compete in challenges with their classmates to earn points for their homeroom. We encourage students to make signs and dress in colorful clothing for the day. We have created Color Day materials kits for families to pick up on Monday or Tuesday from 7:30-1:30. The kits include a t-shirt and all the materials that your child will need to participate in the activities.
You might already have some of the items at your home if you choose not to pick up at Orchard Gardens. The materials include:
Grades K-2: pom poms, spoon, ping pong balls, bowl, water bottle, plastic cups
Grades 3-8: oreos, skittles, straw, plates, water bottle, plastic cups
We would love to see pictures of your child participating in the activities and to feature them in the slideshow during the closing ceremony! Please send pictures to ebekenstein@bostonpublicschools.org or 617-721-6265.
