Field Day 2018

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.

Field Day

Hello,
Field day is coming up on Thursday, May 24th and it is going to be great!! I would love some help from help from our great parent volunteers on the day, or any great ideas that will make our field day special. We already have a few things in mind and I have included a permission slip on this form.
Thanks,
Miss Young

Pirates from Grammar Island

I am sure you have heard many of our wonderful songs already, but for the real thing we will be performing on May 15th at 2:00 sharp! Everyone is very excited to show their hard work!  

There are multiple youtube videos of others performing the same play if your child wants to practice songs at home! As for costumes everyone needs to dress like a pirate. I was thinking a simple one would be a white button down shirt or striped t-shirt, black pants, and some pirate gear. To make it fancier you could get a vest, maybe a sash around the waist, a hat. I have collected some supplies over the years, and I would be happy to let students borrow my sashes, bandanas, and eye patches. Some students have other parts and costumes and I have talked to them about it already.  We will need costumes checked off before the 14th of May. Let me know if you have any questions!

Optional Dollar Dress Down Tomorrow

Two of our Quest employees, Mrs. McBride and Miranda McBride, have been accepted as mentors into Youthlinc, a Utah-based nonprofit organization that organizes local and international service projects for youth. They are planning an international service project to a small village in Nepal for two weeks next July. They will be assisting high school aged students in serving a community in need.

These students will be assisting the village of Suntakhan in rebuilding structures that still remain damaged from the earthquake that struck the area in 2015, including remodeling an orphanage. They will also be helping the villagers with business development, personal hygiene, sustainability, and English lessons all while learning of their culture and traditions.

To help them in their efforts, POQA agreed to sponsor an optional dollar dress down day this Friday (March 9). Students who would like to donate can dress down for a dollar. Students who do not wish to participate are welcome to wear their uniforms. Individuals who would like to donate more than a dollar can donate by clicking below: https://youthlinc.z2systems.com/np/clients/youthlinc/campaign.jsp?campaign=8&fundraiser=16144& (a cash donation in the front office would also be okay). The people of Suntakhan would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
