Warrior Day
Warrior Day takes place each fall and this year our all day Kinder- garteners got to participate for the first time! Assigned to one of 26 intramural “tribes”, students compete in a variety of team- oriented, physically active and spirited competitions culminating with the tug-of-war finals and awards. This year the Apache Tribe won the overall competi- tion. It is so great to see the old- er students guiding the younger ones at each station. Fun was had by all at Warrior Day 2016!
