Fifth Grade Celebrations
- 5th grade collected more cans of food than any other grade level. They were rewarded with an extra recess. They always love that!!
- The Fifth Graders were able to rank their choices for electives for their upcoming 6th grade year using a google form, and with the help of Ms. Gerwel! This was a new process for the students, and it went really well!!!
- Seven fifth graders competed in the Math League competition in February. Two students: Brady Purcell and Landon Haynes will be moving on to the Regional Math League competition April 1st!!
- Several students designed potential tshirt logos for this years Run Club. All the students voted during lunch by secret ballot, and Elaina Bestol in Ms. Gilliland's class designed the winning entry!!! Way to go Elaina!!
