5th Grade will be having a combined Valentine's party on Thursday, February 13th from 1:15 - 2:15 in the Glenhope cafeteria.
Students will be handing out Valentines after the party in classrooms. If your child plans on making Valentine's, please note we have 50 students in 5th ASPIRE. We aren't having students make Valentine boxes in class, but we do suggest they bring something to hold all of their Valentines in!
*Pro tip - have your child fill out the "from" section of their Valentines and leave the "to" blank - that will make it so much easier for them when they pass them out!*
The 5th-grade committee is collecting gift cards for the bingo game prizes and will also need volunteers to help on the day of the party. If you are able to help with either or both of these items, the sign-up is below. Thank you to those who have already volunteered/donated.

These blue sheets were sent home with your child on Wednesday. Be sure to fill it out and have both you and your child sign it + return to school no later than Monday, February 10th.

Hayes/Weinstein Community Service Photos (keep scrolling!)
We have a goal this year for all 5th-grade students (and teachers) to complete 12 hours of community service outside of the school day by the end of the year (6 hours per semester). Students who achieve 6 hours by December 13, 2024, and an additional 6 hours by May 9, 2025, will receive a party to celebrate their achievements. When your child completes community service, please be sure they are logging their time in the Google Form linked below. We have hung a tracker poster (pictured here to the left) in the 5th-grade hallway to track the hours completed as the school year progresses. We cannot wait to see the tracker fill up!
SO FAR, 5TH GRADE STUDENTS ARE OVER 510 HOURS FOR THIS SEMESTER!
Also, if you snap photos of your child during their community service, please send them our way! We would love to see the work they are doing. We have included some of the photos we have received so far (to the right). It makes our hearts so happy to see students volunteering in their community!
