Summit Christian Academy > Academics > Elementary > Field Day 2025: Fitness, Fun & A Slimy Surprise!

On Friday, May 9th, Field Day 2025 brought laughter, excitement, and a whole lot of splashes to campus as Pre-K through 5th-grade students came together for a day of active fun and community spirit. The much-anticipated annual event transformed the school grounds into a colorful festival of movement and play, highlighting the values of fitness, teamwork, and joy.

Throughout the day, students rotated through a variety of engaging stations, each designed to keep bodies moving and spirits high. From water play and inflatables to competitive races and Olympic-style challenges, there was no shortage of energy or enthusiasm. Rhythm games added a musical twist to the action, while water-based activities provided a refreshing way to cool down under the spring sun.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the day took place at 10:30 AM in the quad: the sliming of Coach Jarrell. All classes gathered in eager anticipation as Coach J was ceremoniously doused in green slime, much to the delight of the crowd. This highlight was more than just a funny finale—it was the culmination of our February partnership with the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge. In recognition of their outstanding fundraising efforts, 25 students who each raised over $100 earned the honor of sliming Coach J. It was a perfect blend of philanthropy and fun, showcasing how community service can be both impactful and exciting.

Field Day 2025 was a true team effort, with enthusiastic support from students, staff, and a host of dedicated volunteers. The event not only celebrated physical fitness but also reinforced important values like sportsmanship, cooperation, and kindness. For many, it was a day filled with laughter, high-fives, and memories that will last long after the final station was completed.

As we reflect on this joyful day, we’re reminded of the power of play and the strength of our school community. Field Day 2025 was more than just a celebration—it was a shining example of how we learn, grow, and thrive together.
