The faculty at Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School concluded the 2024-25 school year with a unique event, the inaugural Faculty Field Day. On the last day of school, Principal Dr. Heather Murillo, Assistant Principal Mrs. Erica Peralta, and 34 teachers and staff participated in activities while dressed in inflatable costumes. The entire student body attended as spectators.
Participants were divided into teams competing for bragging rights and the Nathaniel Woodhull Faculty Field Day trophy. The team of fourth- and fifth-grade teachers emerged as champions. The event ended with a parade where students interacted with faculty members.
Dr. Murillo explained, “The event was created in collaboration with the Student Council and their advisor, Mrs. Catania, as well as Woodhull’s physical education teacher, Mr. Campbell, as a way to celebrate the end of the school year, build school spirit, and bring the community together.” She added that it emphasized “connection, positivity and the importance of shared school experiences outside the classroom.”
With its positive reception, Faculty Field Day is expected to become an annual tradition at Woodhull Elementary.
