When asked what urged him to make this event happen, Mr. Berry said, “I wanted the school to come together to have fun and build more school spirit, and at the same time, find a way to compliment what we have in the Jogathon, but make it happen in the spring.”  
“I want this to be the first annual and one of many to come. If students are in favor, then let’s make it happen,” Mr. Berry said.  
Mr. Berry hopes that the Lower and Middle Schools will join in years to come and help to expand this opportunity to strengthen school spirit and unify the student body.
 “I wanted to have this Field Day three years ago and, for one reason or another, it never got off the ground.
I did not want another year to pass without the kids having an opportunity to have fun together before they departed for summer.
All in all, I witnessed many happy faces today. Just seeing the upperclassmen and women working with our 9th and 10th graders in the different events was worth the few months of planning.”
