Sun, Sports & School Spirit: Field Day at MOMS!

Sun, Sports & School Spirit: Field Day at MOMS!

June 2025

Mount Olive Middle School closed out the year with one of the most exciting events on the calendar—Field Day! Held on the school’s outdoor grounds, this much-loved tradition gave each grade level their own special day to celebrate, compete, and enjoy some fresh air and fun.

Eighth graders kicked things off on Wednesday, June 4th, followed by seventh grade on Thursday, June 5th, and sixth grade wrapping it up on Friday, June 6th. The weather brought our first real taste of summer, with sunny skies and warm temperatures that added to the energy and excitement of the day.

The event was planned and led by our outstanding physical education team, spearheaded by Mrs. Kelly Buck and Dr. Bill Zaccheo, who put together an amazing lineup of activities. Students had the chance to select their own events ahead of time, creating a personalized day filled with fun and challenge.

This year’s Field Day featured an incredible range of events, including:
Long-Distance Run, Three-Legged Race, Broad Jump, Hulahoop for Time/Pass, Water Balloon Toss, Football Punt for Distance, Tug of War, Beach Ball Carry, Chalk the Walk, Wet Sponge Race, Home Run Derby, Balloon Burst Tag, Hippity Hop Race, 3-Point Basketball Shot, Cup by Cup, Pizza Box Race, Cornhole, CanJam, Spikeball, Ladder Ball, Spikeball Tournament, Lost Sneaker Race, Relay Race, Football Push, Egg and Spoon Carry, Overhead Bucket Pour, Dizzy Bat, 9 v. 9 Soccer, Dodgeball, and Volleyball.

Whether students were hopping on a Hippity Hop, getting drenched during the Overhead Bucket Pour, or sprinting through the Relay Race, the day was filled with laughter, teamwork, and just the right amount of friendly competition.

A huge thank you to all the staff, administrators, and volunteers who helped make each day run smoothly by supervising events and supporting students. And a very special shout-out to the Mount Olive Middle School PTO, who showed up every day, keeping everyone fueled for the fun.

Field Day 2025 brought sun, smiles, and unforgettable memories—it was the perfect way to start saying goodbye to the school year and hello to summer!
