Advent celebrates our movement team in June during Field Day and the Day of Community Wellness.

On Field Day, PE teachers Josy Raycroft and Meagan Ramos transform Teddy Ebersol's Red Sox Field into a mission-aligned movement space for the whole school. Each Field Day has a theme, and this year's was "Oh, the Places We've Gone!" a nod to Advent's PE partnerships across the city, from the Boston Garden to the BU FitRec and Langone Park in the North End.

Students are on multi-grade teams, co-led by teachers and Sixth Graders. They play games like relays, parachutes, and races. There is face painting and - everyone's favorite - the water ball toss! The event ended with popsicles and time to relax with teammates.

Marlene Boyette, Yoga & Mindfulness, supported the Class of 2023 during the Fourth Annual Day of Community Wellness.

On a sunny day in the Public Garden, the Sixth Graders led the whole school in a gentle warm-up, yoga sequence, calming breathing exercise, and savasana.

Fifth Graders offered participants spritzes of an essential oil blend used during indoor yoga classes. Students affectionately call the calming blend "Yoga Rain." Parents, caregivers, and even family pets joined the event to embrace the moment of calm.
