Westside : SCHOOL DAY
More than 200 students from four Westside schools are gathering in a Santa Monica park today, coming together to meet and make friends with teenagers from other cities.
Sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders from schools in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and Culver City are participating in Field Day ‘96, organized by parent volunteers as a “celebration of education,” said parent Sandra Ruch of West Los Angeles.
Ruch said the daylong event at Clover Park was set up at the request of the students, who complained that they rarely get to meet with kids from other areas becausethe small schools participate in few interscholastic sports programs.
