Field Day Volunteers
Calling all adult fun loving members of our community…it’s that time of year again. Forest Ridge will have Field Day on May 15th (rain date of May 22nd). How can you join in on the fun?
If you want to help with students in grades K-2 please join us from 9:30-11:30. Volunteers for the 3rd through 5th graders are needed from 1:10-3:15.
All volunteers must have completed the HCPSS required volunteer training and turned in the certificate to Mrs. Jackson in the office prior to the event day. If you don’t want to miss out on a thing, please join us all day! Without you the day can’t be as special. Please come help us celebrate good sportsmanship and being active.

This camp is all about the joy of jumping in and finding the funny. Listening, saying “yes, and,” collaboration and flexibility are key. Though there is a focus on the basics, students with prior improv experience will find an opportunity to strengthen their basic comedy muscles.
Grades 2-5: 9am-12pm.
Students will work on creativity and teamwork through improv, storytelling, and clowning exercises. Students will perform a show at the end of the week featuring the skills that they learned.
Location: Camp Improv takes place at Centennial High School on the stage and in theatre room.
Cost: $195 includes a Camp Improv shirt
Performance: Students will perform on the Friday of the camp week at 7pm. All tickets to the show are complimentary!
