5th Grade Focus: September 25-29
Let's Have a Record Year!
Donelson Dash Kickoff
The Donelson Dash fundraiser kicked off this past Friday. This is a GREAT fundraiser because the school gets to keep ALL the money raised!
This year, we are raising money to add an outdoor interactive learning area to our campus. This area will be paved with seating and include fun and educational activities painted on the concrete. We are also planning to cover the area so it will be shaded!
