ALOHA Class of 2020
5th Grade at Mathews Elementary, Plano, Texas
5th Grade Virtual Graduation - May 20, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.
In order to make this a very special virtual event for all our families, please make certain that your child has completed their FlipGrid Video by the end of the day on 5/11/2020. Your child has the link to do this on their Reading Google Classroom. Here is the link as well if you would like to share it with them: https://flipgrid.com/d843ef89 Unfortunately, if your child does not complete this video on time, he/she will not appear in this 'memorable moment' section of the graduation event. Thank you for your help!
You will receive an email from your child's homeroom teacher on 5/18/2020 with the link to the Virtual Graduation Ceremony! Please feel free to share the link with your family and friends.
WOW! Just two more weeks of 5th grade! Thank you for your encouragement and support!
Sincerely, The Fifth Grade Aloha Team
