🎉☀️ FIELD DAY 2026 = SUCCESS! ☀️🎉

What an incredible day! Our Trailblazers spent the afternoon laughing, playing, celebrating, and making memories with friends. From exciting games and cool sno cones to colorful face painting and nonstop smiles, Field Day was the perfect way to wrap up another amazing school year.

A HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers, staff members, PTA supporters, and families who helped make today possible. Events like this take a village, and we are so grateful for everyone who donated their time, energy, and enthusiasm to create such a special experience for our students.

Most importantly, thank you to our students for bringing the fun, showing great sportsmanship, and making this day one to remember!

💙🖤 Together, we move mountains. 🖤💙

🩵 THANK YOU, SHAW ROAD COMMUNITY! 🩵

Mission: Playground may have crossed the finish line, but what our Trailblazers accomplished over the past few weeks is something truly special.

While we didn’t quite reach our Phase 1 fundraising goal, we are incredibly proud of what we achieved together:

💥 Nearly $22,000 raised (including corporate matching donations!)
🌎 Donations from 35 states and 4 countries
🏫 Every single class brought in donations
🚀 Nearly 60% of our students registered

More importantly, we saw what makes Shaw Road such an amazing community. Families, students, staff, grandparents, friends, neighbors, and supporters from across the country—and around the world—came together to invest in the future of our school.

Every donation, every share, every registration, and every encouraging word brought us one step closer to creating safer, more inclusive playground spaces for all Trailblazers.

🎤 And because of your incredible support, we unlocked RECESS KARAOKE WITH MR. MICHELES! Stay tuned for details on next week’s recess celebration!

⏰ Missed your chance to donate? Good news! Donations remain open through June 6, and ALL individual and schoolwide prizes still apply. .com

While this fundraiser was an important step, it is only the beginning of a much larger journey. The support we’ve received has shown us that this community believes in this project and in the students who will benefit from it for years to come.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us launch Mission: Playground.

❤️ Together, we are building something amazing.
