With an attitude of gratitude, we come back together after a long Thanksgiving break to continue learning, growing and having fun with special holiday activities over the next three weeks. School resumes on Monday morning December 1 at 8:10 am.
Congratulations to all our fifth graders who participated in the Science Fair. Each student participated in the scientific method – asking a question, making a hypothesis, creating an experiment to test the hypothesis and reviewing the results – either proving or disproving the hypothesis. Our winners are pictured. Thank you to the fifth grade teachers and judges who made this happen!
