Two Reasons To Rent Portable Restrooms For Your School's Field Day Event
Summer is looming just ahead, the days are being marked off on the calendar, and there are all kinds of cool end-of-school-year activities planned for the students at your school. If you are like a lot of schools, hosting a field day or track-and-field day will be one of those end-of-year activities.
Field day usually takes place outside on a football field or other open area where the kids will have plenty of room to compete in things like relay runs and long jumps. Therefore, this event does take some good planning right from the start. One thing you really should consider renting for the field day event is portable toilets. Here is a look at some of the reasons why renting portable restrooms is a good idea for your school's field day event.
You prevent having to make frequent trips back inside for bathroom breaks.
Normally during a field day event, teachers and staff will plan several trips indoors with several students to allow them to take a bathroom break. If someone has to go to the restroom outside of these planned visits, a member of the staff will have to take a child back to the school, to the restroom, and then bring them back outdoors.
Having portable restrooms outside will mean that no one will have to head inside to take children to the restroom as they need to go. Avoiding these trips will save time through the day, prevent the students from missing out on activities, and keep the teachers, students, staff, and parents in one area for most of the day.
Children will not avoid hydrating so they won't have to go to the bathroom.
Field day involves a lot of physical activity, a lot of time out in the sun, and possibly all of this at a hot time of year. Therefore, making sure the students stay hydrated all day is highly important. Most schools give children unlimited access to water, sports drinks, or other healthy beverages to drink throughout the field day event.
The problem is, some kids will deliberately avoid drinking a lot of fluids just so they do not have to make frequent trips back to the school to go to the restroom. By having portable restrooms right there and accessible, the children will be less likely to avoid drinking because they don't want to have to ask to go when they need to go again.
