5th Grade ~ Week 16 & 17 Update
There will be no update sent immediately upon our return due to the short, three-day week. The next update will be on January 11, 2019. We wish you all a safe, healthful, relaxing winter break as you enjoy extra time with family and friends. Thank you for helping provide a wonderful Colonial Day experience for all fifth graders. Your donated items, hammers on loan, and time spent volunteering made it run smoothly and provided a memorable celebration. Reading/Language Arts This past week…
