With the help of Online Physical Education Network’s national trainers, American Academy’s Castle Pines students were able to enjoy this year’s annual field day tradition from their homes. Using household items like baskets, Tupperware, socks, balls and water bottles, backyards transformed into courses for timed field day activities. The nice weather drew students away from their desks and got them outside to compete in the coin flip 400-meter dash and the milk jug relay.
