Haven Bay Elementary

A group of eight elementary school-aged kids is posing happily on a playground on a sunny day. They are standing near a green and blue jungle gym, and one boy is on a red slide. All children are holding orange and red popsicles, smiling at the camera. Two boys are barefoot on the asphalt track, while others wear shoes. Their hair and clothes appear slightly wet. The sky is bright blue. The photo has a cheerful and summery feeling.

A group of children is playing an outdoor game on a grassy field on a clear, sunny day. The game involves orange buckets placed on the grass and blue water sponges. A boy in a green shirt is about to dip his sponge in a bucket. To the right, another boy is running, and a girl is near a stack of orange buckets. The background shows mountains with snow-capped peaks. An adult is visible in the far-off distance. The scene is bright and full of action.

A large group of children is kneeling on a grassy field in front of a modern school building. They are facing away from the camera, looking towards a huge red fire engine on the right. A long, extended ladder from the truck is high in the sky. It appears that objects are being thrown or dropped from a basket at the end of the ladder. An adult is standing in front of the kids, gesturing towards the ladder. The sky is partially cloudy. The photo captures a moment of excited anticipation.

A class photo of fifteen young students, boys and girls, and their female teacher, posing on a concrete path outside their school. All students are sitting or kneeling, holding blue water bottles, looking at the camera. Their teacher is on the right, kneeling and smiling. The students' hair looks wet, indicating they have been participating in water activities. The modern, two-story school building is behind them, with brick and siding. A security camera is visible on the building. The photo is well-lit on a bright, sunny day.

A group of fifteen barefoot children is playing in a large mound of white foam on a grassy lawn. They are clustered in the foam, which covers them and the ground. To the left, a large black bucket is attached to a pole, appearing to be the foam dispenser. Adults are watching in the background. A modern school building, a white pickup truck, and a distant playground are also visible. The sky is clear, dark blue. The scene is full of fun and excitement.

A group of about twenty children is participating in an organized activity on a large, grassy field on a clear, sunny day. Most of them are sitting in a circle on the ground, while two adults and four other children are standing outside the circle. The girl in the foreground is in mid-stride, running, likely the person who is "it" in the game. In the distance, a mountain range is clearly visible. The overall mood is active and engaged.

A group of school-aged children is playing "rock paper scissors" while participating in a hopscotch game with multi-colored hula hoops. The game is spread across a large, grassy field on a clear, bright sunny day. A cluster of kids is waiting their turn in the background. A small blue canopy tent is set up further away. A adult is standing to the right. The mountains can be seen in the distance, and the sun is high and bright, creating long shadows. The vibe is active and happy.

A sign stuck into the ground reads "WATER KICKBALL" with a picture of a kid in a baseball uniform. Beyond the sign, children are playing kickball on a dry, grassy field. A small, multi-colored blow-up wading pool is on the grass near first base. An adult stands near third base. The field is bordered by a tall fence and a chain-link fence. Behind the field, there is a massive mountain range with snow-covered peaks under a vast, cloudless blue sky. The composition captures the wide, open feeling of the landscape.

Haven Bay

☀️🏃‍♂️ Thanks to the incredible planning and sponsorship of our amazing PTA and parent volunteers, students loved choosing their own adventures across awesome activity rotations like foam parties, noodle tag, and custom tattoos. 🫧🎨 After cooling down with refreshing popsicles on the playground, the afternoon ended with a sweet surprise from the West Haven Fire Department. 🚒🍦 To help conserve water during the drought, the firefighters skipped the traditional spray and showered the cheering crowd with a rain of yummy treats from the very top of their high ladder! 🍬✨ We are so grateful for our wonderful community for making this unforgettable day possible for our students. 💙🦅 For more information, see our news article at havenbay.wsd.net #HavenBayElementary #GreatBlueHerons #FieldDay2026 #PTARocks #CommunityStrong #SchoolSpirit @HavenBayElementaryPTA
