5th Grade End of Year Video
Every year, Smith celebrates its fifth grade graduates with a special video. The video includes all 5th graders, highlighting their years at Smith - from kindergarten to 5th grade. The video will be shown to 5th graders and their parents during the last week of school. The 5th grade teachers would like to thank Linda Crossman and Lana Cordero for taking on this huge project. We really appreciate you!
Now, they can't do this on their own. Your help is critical to the success of this project. In your child's thursday folder today is a blue piece of paper that explains what is needed for the end of year video project. Please look over it carefully as all the directions are there on what you need to do and how to share pictures. There are email addresses if you have questions.
