The shirt can have a design that is school appropriate. This is not a requirement and strictly voluntary. It not only looks awesome when students wear the same color, it makes it easy to identify students!

GRADE LEVEL COLORS:

Kindergarten: Yellow
1st Grade: Neon Green
2nd Grade: Red
3rd Grade: Orange
4th Grade: Blue
5th Grade: Black or the 5th Grade shirt

Parent volunteers are needed! Only CLEARED volunteers are allowed to help on Field Day, so if you haven't, make sure to start your application process and get background checked now. Note that we have a NEW volunteering system this year called VOLY. Click here to apply.

More information about Field Day to come.

Thank you,

Your Beverly Coaches
