On Friday, we had our annual Field Day at Sahel Academy. We went to the Niamey soccer stadium for the day, otherwise known as the Stade. It was a beautiful sunny day for track events.
The secondary and elementary students were divided up into teams. Each with their own flag and banners. Even the staff had a flag......we were the yellow team.
Each team started the day by showcasing their cheer. The Red Fireants were pretty excited at the start of the day and at the end were the team with the most points. After all the cheers, let the races begin...
Along with races of various distances, there was high jump, shot put, standing broad jump. Softball and Frisbee throw for the elementary. I enjoyed judging and measuring the discus throw for the secondary students.
After being in the hot sun all day, we were all looking for ways to keep cool. There was lots of cold water! Juice and cookies were a refreshing mid-morning snack.
Just a couple of principals trying to stay cool in the afternoon sun, or should I say a couple of really cool principals!
Field Day was a great success. It was wonderful to hear the students cheering and encouraging each other on in each event.
