Emily Gricco, Katie McCabe and Taylor Fioravnti, grade 7, warm up for their softball game If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! Field Day was a wash, but the rain date was picture perfect for grades 1 - 8 at St. Joseph's School. The students were dropped at Stewart Field for a day of athletics and games coordinated by Mr. "S", Phys. Ed. Director. As the students rotated to each station, a huge group of parent volunteers ran the activities with ease! Each class had a water station, courtesy of the class parents and a McDonald's lunch and Rita's Italian Ices were the special treat for the students.
