Kite Day: a history
Embark on a journey through time with Kite Day at Southfield School, a cherished tradition since 1955 that has woven its way into the fabric of our community. What began as a captivating blend of science and art, transformed into an enduring celebration of creativity and camaraderie. In the inaugural year, students eagerly crafted their own kites, breathing life into the skies on Kite Day in a spectacle of colors and ingenuity.
What started as a simple science and art project evolved into a spirited competition, with categories ranging from the most creative designs to the highest-flying marvels and even the tiniest yet mighty contenders. Generations of students have soared to new heights, both in their kites and in the memories forged during this time-honored Southfield tradition.
As we continue to celebrate Kite Day, we honor the legacy of imagination and unity that has graced our skies for decades. Join us in commemorating this enduring Southfield School tradition that uplifts spirits and fosters a sense of community year after year.
