Nowata High School Field Day — We Understood the Assignment
Nowata High School showed up and showed out at Field Day! From the games to the music to the memories, it was a day to remember.
We had it all from corn hole, ping pong, four square, kickball, yard games, and even a Smash Brothers tournament.
The DJ had us dancing all day, while face painting and chalk art added color and creativity to the scene.
Free snow cones and popcorn kept things cool, and hot dogs with chips kept us strong.
We even had some serious chess matches!
From start to finish, it was a perfect day to hang out with friends, have fun, and show that Ironmen spirit.
A huge thank you to everyone for supporting NHS and making this an outstanding school year!
