4-Cell projects
The 5th grade team would like to thank all students and parents for all the hard work put into the cell projects. Students turned in some amazing work!!!! Students have begun presenting their projects. They should be receiving their grades on Infinite Campus soon.
5-5- Volunteer Hours
We host a Class Dojo party every Friday for students that have earned at least an 80% average for their behavior throughout the week. We would like part of the reward to include an edible treat whenever possible. Sending in healthy snacks/treats and drink boxes are always a great way to earn some of your volunteer hours! In addition, we are always happy to accept ink cartridges for our shared HP-Laserjet printer. Lastly, please note that every 20 Box Top points you send in earns you one volunteer hour!
