Quarter 4 is busy for 5th graders!

Welcome to Quarter 4! As your child winds down their elementary school career, we have many fun events planned for them. Please remind your child to continue to complete homework and to come to class ready to learn so that they don't miss any of these fun activities. As always, please contact us if you have further questions.
(This was also sent home today attached to the Washington DC field trip permission slip.)
