| Tammey Webb, the STC Program Coordinator/Interventionist at Arnoldsburg Elementary School invites students to join in for Virtual Spirit/Field Day - Week.
"Since we are unable to have our field day and fun activities that we usually do at the end of the year, we thought we would try a virtual field day. Each day there is an activity that goes with the daily theme. Please try that activity and then there are 3 âfield dayâ type events for you to do. Video yourself completing the tasks and share them with us on your Facebook group.
