The End is Near...


The end of the school year is almost here, and we have lots of fun activities planned over the next week and a half.  Here are the highlights and important information regarding these events:

Tuesday, May 28th:  Students will attend a presentation by the local libraries regarding their summer reading programs.  This is always such a fun way for the kids to keep on reading during the summer.  I highly encourage all my students to take part in this wonderful activity!

Wednesday, May 29th:  The students will attend a talent show featuring select fourth and fifth graders, as well as a few teacher surprises!  It's always such a nice way to showcase some of the wonderful talent that our student body has, and maybe even encourage others to discover their own talent!

Friday, May 31st:  In the afternoon, the fifth graders will have their end of the year celebration.  Students will enjoy some special treatment that day, but I can't say what it is....it's a surprise!  I can tell you to make sure that they have gym shoes on that day, though!
