Field Day

Field Day 2020

Kinkaid Field Day 2020 was unlike any other in the history of the School! As tradition holds, the sun always shines on Field Day, and that was reflcted in the attitudes of the chairs, volunteers and students who made the best of the most unique Field Day to date. Faced with the most unusual challenge of the century, the Field Day chairs performed their slickest moves to change up the playlist for the originally planned “Catch the (Disco) Fever” themed event to create a virtual “Catch the Spirit” Field Day that could not have been imagined even a few months prior. Sixty plus parent volunteers rallied to get almost 900 Field Day t-shirts delivered within the span of two days, all over the greater Houston area. Students of all ages proudly wore purple and gold and embodied school spirit with improvised fild events in the backyard, in the driveway, in the pool, on horseback and wherever they were. Parents learned quickly how to navigate Instagram as their kids created and submitted 200+ photos and videos in support of their Field Day teams. This year, Purple came out on top in a very tight virtual race, but the real winner in this coordinated effort was One Kinkaid, where it was proven that COVID-19 was no match for this beloved tradition! A super groovy thank you goes out to our donors and volunteers and to our disco queens, Tracy McCleary, Sandy Sturm, and Allison Crosswell, whose flexbility, creativity and boogie shoes allowed them to hustle their way to a very memorable Field Day! #GoKinkaidGold #GoKinkaidPurple #OneKinkaid
