Dear Parents,

Field day is coming up on Thursday, May 24th. Each grade is in charge of the activities for their students. Space is limited at Quest, so 3rd grade will be having our field day at Stonefield Park in West Haven. The address is 4529 S 4700 W, West Haven. It is about .8 of a mile from Quest Academy. We will need all parents to drop of their students at the park between 8:00 – 8:30. While there, we will be doing a rotation of super fun activities.


  1. Sponge toss
  2. Tug-of-War/Partner Tag
  3. Popsicle and park time
  4. Cotton candy
  5. Over/Under Sponge Relay Race
  6. Marco Polo
  7. Dress up Relay
  8. Fruit Basket
  9. Balloon Tag
  10. Freeze Dance
  11. Drip-Drip-Drop 

At the end of field day, we are tentatively going to have a visit from the fire department who are going to spray us with the fire hose. We will then walk back to Quest for recess, lunch, and pick-up.

 In order to have all of these fun activities we are going to need help from our excellent parents. We would love to have two parents per station to help and supervise.                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                  Thank you,                                                                                                                            Third Grade

_______Yes, I will be able to volunteer on field day on Thursday, May 24th.

_______ No, I will not be able to volunteer on field day on Thursday, May 24th. 

_______ I can’t volunteer that day, but I can donate materials. I can send in: balloons, yarn, water buckets, portable speaker, large men’s clothes for dress up relay. (circle your donation)

Aquarium Permission Slip

Aquarium Permission Slip
We are so excited for our last field trip this year. We are going to the Living Planet Aquarium in Draper on Tuesday, May 8th.

 The plans for the trip are as follows:

  • All students will need to meet at the Roy Front Runner Station no later than 8:15. We will then board the train and ride to Draper. A bus will meet us there and shuttle us to the aquarium.
  • At the aquarium, we are scheduled for a half-day learning adventure and then we will have a short time to explore and eat lunch.
  • We will then shuttle to the station and board the Front Runner and return to the Roy Station at 4:16. You will need to pick you child up from the Roy Station.

The cost of the aquarium is usually around $15 for children and $18 for adults so we are ecstatic to say that the cost of this fieldtrip has been donated by POQA! These funds were made possible by the generous donations from parents! If you, as a parent, would like to go with us, you are more than welcome to. The cost of the trip for parents is $15, which will cover the cost of your admission into the aquarium, your Front Runner ticket, and the shuttle bus to the aquarium.

 With the nature of this field trip, we are only allowing parents to attend with us and all parents will be responsible for a small group of children. Please make other arrangements for ALL other siblings.  

 If you would like to go with us, please sign the note at the bottom of the page and return it WITH your payment by Tuesday, May 1st. No money will be accepted after this date. Those who do not pre-sign up will need to pay full admission price at the aquarium that day.
