BOOT CAMP AT MARRINGTON ELEMENTARY: Field Day 2014

Marrington Elementary’s field was turned into a day of training and fun.  For Field Day 2014, Coach Brandon Beckman chose to put the students through Boot camp.  Classes were encouraged to choose from the branches of the military to represent during field day. Classes made “camo” t-shirts and class flags to represent their branch and class unity.

Volunteers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard were on hand to assist the students as the moved from one station to another.
