Parents of Fifth Grade Students:
This year we'd like to include Well Wishes - which will be in the back of the yearbook from parents for their Fifth Grade student.
Cost is $5 payable to LES PTA. If money is an issue, please contact Nicky French at (240)586-4797 or email at nickyfrench1125@yahoo.com.
We would like to have 100% participation so all our 5th grade students are represented.
We are allowing one ad per student. Individual Well Wish space will be about the size of a business card so please include just a few sentences!
