Family Picnic 2026

Family Picnic on the Lawn - Thursday, October 1

Please save the date for our Family Picnic on the Lawn during Airshow Practice Day! Parents and guardians are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs and join their child for lunch on the Eader field.

Please see the information below for more information:

  • Parking will be significantly impacted, and families should plan on parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Please allow yourself ample time to find parking and walk to the location where you will meet your child. Arriving early is recommended, as we want to avoid any stress on our students if families are running late.
  • Local restaurants are also typically overwhelmed on this day as several nearby schools hold similar events during Airshow Practice Day. If you plan to order food, please place your order well in advance. The easiest option may be to pack a lunch at home and walk or bike to school.
  • Families will enter campus through the Eader Office and meet their child on the blacktop before walking to their designated area on the school field.
  • All families should bring beach chairs or blankets for comfortable seating during the picnic.
  • Parents with multiple children in the same lunch period are welcome to bring one child to the other’s location on the field so they can enjoy the picnic together. Please note that students will not be dismissed from class to join a sibling in a different lunch period.
  • Families are welcome to stay until the end of their child's lunch period.
  • All guests must exit through Gate 5 only.
  • Finally, for on-campus activities that welcome parents, the expectation is that families enjoy the event and students remain in class until the final bell. Important instruction continues until the end of the day.

If early checkouts begin to take place during these events, we may need to reconsider offering these on-campus community experiences in the future.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us continue to provide these engaging activities for our community.

Extremely Important: If you are unable to attend, please ensure your child is aware.
