This is it!  The final week has arrived with many things to complete by Friday.  Please make sure to get the field trip permission slip and money turned early this week.  Please also send your child to school each day with bags to take home items a little at a time.

Tuesday night is the 5th grade send off and this begins at 6:30pm.  Students will be receiving a class TShirt after the send off on Tuesday.

On Thursday your child will be required to wear their 5th grade T Shirt they will be receiving on Tuesday.  Please make sure it is clean and ready to be worn  for Thursday's fieldtrip. 

Friday is the last day of school and dismissal time is at 2:55 pm.  Around 2:15pm there will be a few end of the year activities on the playground, one of them being the breaking of ground for the new playground.
