Field Day 2026 is Almost Here

Friday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It’s almost time for everyone's favorite day of the year, Field Day! Families received an email from Lead Physical Education Teacher Lauren Lukowski with details for the upcoming Field Day. Below is a summary of the email:

• Students need to wear their team color and athletic shoes to school and should put on sunscreen prior to arrival.
• Bring a refillable water bottle.
• Lunch will be provided, in addition to a salad bar. Sage will also have nut-free and gluten-free snacks.
• If a student brings lunch from home, please label the outside of the lunchbox with their team color, student's name, and teacher's name. This also applies to snacks from home.
• A sweet treat will be served at the end of the day.

Questions may be directed to Julie McCord ([email protected]) or Lauren Lukowski ([email protected]).
