On Friday, June 5, The Hewitt school held its annual Field Day, giving kids a chance to blow off steam on a beautiful day.

Students jumped, ran, threw, scootered, crawled and hopped through many different activities to earn points for their teams. And afterward, they got to enjoy a pizza lunch.

When the kids were eating, it was the teachers’ turn — to get a pie thrown in their face by their fellow educators.
