Students at WRV Lyons Elementary School celebrated the end of the school year with a circus themed field day. Titled, "Welcome to the Big Top, The Greatest Field Day On Earth" students participated in events like the "tight rope walk" and ate circus themed treats. At the end of the day the school carried on the tradition of a tug of war match between the sixth grade students and the teachers. The teachers remain undefeated.
