Field Day at Hurlock Elementary is a tradition our students look forward to every year! 🦅🎉 One thing that makes it even more special—every single student receives a Field Day shirt, and that’s something we have proudly provided year after year. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’re continuing that tradition by raising $4,000 to make it happen again this year. 💜❤️💛 Your generosity helps ensure that every student feels included, celebrated, and part of the team on this exciting day.
