Principal: Randall Stephens

MAYFIELD SCHOOL recently held “Just Me, My Dad and the Brazilians,” an evening where dads and students came together to participate in a multicultural study of Brazil. Dads and students — 287 people attended this event — were given a schedule of sessions to follow. In the closing ceremony, Randall Stephens, principal, holding the Olympian Torch, led dads and students in an Olympian Parade.

OLYMPIC GAMES were a highlight of the evening led by coaches Elizabeth Davis and Kelly Geyer. The games were a wonderful opportunity to get dads and students excited about sports, friendly competition and national pride. Dads used scooter boards to assimilate a swimming event. Students were awarded medals and patriotic caps for their participation in the games.

A HISTORY of the Brazilian Carnival was presented by art teacher Mary Poplin. Students designed Brazilian masks using feathers and other decorations of choice.

A MAP SKILLS session introduced students to the country of Brazil. Students iden- tified land and water areas on a Brazilian map. Dads were given a sheet of interesting Brazilian facts to share with their children. Also, the students learned about the Anaconda snake, pound for pound the largest serpent in the world. Students were BACKGROUND OF BRAZILIAN SAMBA was presented by Cheryl Gilbert, music teacher.
