50th Anniversary Field Games

 

Foot races, egg races, wheelbarrow races, sack races, water balloon tossing and tug-of-war!  All of this and so much more at the Pennekamp 50th Anniversary Celebration.

 

Question: What do you do when you have a bucket of water and a paper cup on one side of the field, a pitcher you need to fill on the other side and all you are given is a plastic tube FULL of holes? 

 

Hint: You sure need a lot of hands and it involves getting wet!

 

Of course, the more hands you have, the less water you lose on the way! 

 

And as long as you're getting wet, might as well join in the water balloon toss!

 

Our winners pictured here were the only ones left with an intact balloon!

 

Our tug-of-war was a four way contest with parents, students, alumni, and teachers all working very hard to come out on top.  Get ready...

 

PULL!!!  On the right,  John Oshiro, Dawn Curry, Mike Warner and Susan Warshaw try to defeat the adult team on the other side of the rope in match number two.

 

A huge thank you to Pennekamp parents Rick Hornstra and Ron Hofmeister for the wonderful field games.  Everyone had such a ROARING great time!
