The school-wide Field Day took place on Friday, May 27th. Students got to do various activities during the first two periods of the hot summer day. They played sports and occasionally took some rest under the shade by playing mini-games. Popular sports such as foot volley, basketball, capture the flag, and pinball were some of the activities that students enjoyed. When the games were over, students got to chill out with an easy competition of Jenga, board games, and Pictionary. Undoubtedly, everybody seemed to have a lot of fun since they were drained of energy by the end of the day.

We went around the campus and got some interesting answers from the DIS community. Let’s go check it out.
