2017 YMCA Track and Field Day


During Morning Meeting, the class brainstorms team names. Then, by a 13-10 vote, "Butter Nuggets" wins. Coloring the banner becomes a collaborative effort.

  

Butter Nuggets set up camp and strike a pose for a group photo.


The day begins with field events such as the long jump, javelin and softball toss. A light mist falls for the first hour as Lake, Kole and others briefly defy gravity.
