Dear Families,

This is a busy week for the 5th grade class.  The students are doing a great job getting ready for the intermediate program.  The program is Wednesday, April 9th at 6:30.  Mrs. Lyle sent home a letter on Friday explaining what the students should wear.This Friday is a full day.

The Speech Contest will take place in May.  By the week of May 5th, students are to commit to memory a published poem selection with a minimum of 25 lines. There are no props for the 5th grade.

I am continuing to ask  each student to donate one box of tissues  to the classroom this week. We are almost out!

We have almost reached our goal of $80.00 for Blessings in a Backpack.  I encourage students to continue to bring in change.
