Fifth Grade Newsletter
May 2, 2016
Message To Parents,
Tomorrow is the deadline to order graduation t-shirts. The Fifth Grade Planning Committee is working on a very tight budget this year, so unfortunately students will not be given a t-shirt if they unable to pay, as was done in the past.
***************************************************************************
Please return spring Lifetouch picture packets and/or payment A.S.A.P.
***************************************************************************
Parents - We would like for our students to wear their class shirts for our field trip on Friday. If your child does not have the shirt, then please have him or her wear a shirt the color of his or her homeroom. (see list below) It will make keeping track of the students in a large crowd a bit easier. Also, parents are not able to ride on the bus. Our buses will be packed full of students. Many parents in the past have opted to meet in the parking lot and carpool.
Bass - Blue
Smallwood - Gray
Walker - Teal blue
Wandrum - Red
Thank you,
Fifth Grade Teachers
