Committee advances plans for February 'Field Day' educational Olympiad
Summary
Board members agreed to a field-day 'Greek-style' games concept aimed at middle and high schools, tentatively targeting February (or early March) with medals, concessions, and sponsorships to offset estimated modest costs (roughly $200–$600).
The Education Advisory Board discussed and advanced planning for a Field Day — described in earlier minutes as 'Greek-style games' — intended to spotlight local middle and high schools. Members favored a weekend date in February (or early March), with competition fields, school information tables, medals, and concessions; high school students could serve as volunteers.
Committee members reviewed participating schools (three middle and three high schools were identified, for a total of six) and discussed logistics including venue (Bridal Oaks Park or a community center), likely event length (three to four hours), and modest cost estimates. Members proposed sponsorship to cover medals and incidental costs and suggested schools could operate concessions to raise funds for their programs. “February is perfect,” one member said during the scheduling discussion. The committee asked a subcommittee to firm up dates and sponsors ahead of the next meeting.
