Thank you to this year's board and volunteers.

From assemblies and Field Day to the GloBall, classroom support, and every quiet hour behind the scenes — none of it happens without our volunteers. A heartfelt thank you to Melissa Cortale Fernandes and Joyce Chow, our outgoing Co-President and Treasurer, who are stepping back from the board this year. We are so grateful for your leadership.

Northeast Elementary Field Day 2026
— Friday, June 12 · That's a wrap

Field Day was a blast.

Sunshine, smiles, and a whole lot of running around — Field Day was everything we hoped for. Thank you to every volunteer who ran a station, cheered on the kids, and kept the day moving. You made it happen.
