Field Day 2026 at Glasgow Elementary School was an absolute blast! Our incredible Cheetahs spent the day soaking up the sun, laughing and showing off their amazing school spirit with an epic line-up of outdoor fun! 🏟🎈
From soaring high in the bouncy houses to going all-out in classic games of tug-of-war and duck-duck-goose, the energy on the field was unmatched. Scholars and staff enjoyed the laid-back, joyful vibes all day long. We kept our hard-playing Cheetahs fueled up and smiling with freshly grilled hot dogs and ice-cold snow cones.🌭🍧
Days like today remind us just how special our RGSD community truly is. Seeing the pure joy on our scholars' faces is exactly why we love what we do! Thank you to all the staff, volunteers and scholars who made this day a core memory.🐆🎉 #GlasgowCheetahs #FieldDay2026 #Ramily #RGSDSchools
