Gratitude

As we approach the end of the first semester, it's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by! We are truly grateful for the relationships we have built with our students and are amazed by the growth they have shown.

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the support you provide at home, not just for your children, but for us as well. It's this partnership that makes a significant difference in our students' lives.

As we head into the upcoming break, we all recognize the importance of taking this time to reset and recharge. We go into it feeling extremely thankful for each of you and the community we've created together.

Wishing everyone a restful and joyful break! 💚💙

1st SEMESTER COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS DUE IN 2 WEEKS!

5th Grade Community Service Initiative

We have a goal this year for 5th-grade students to complete 8 hours of community service outside of the school day by the end of the year (4 hours per semester). Students who achieve 4 hours by December 5, 2025, and an additional 4 hours by May 1, 2026, 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) we plan to hang in the 5th-grade hallway to track the hours completed as the school year progresses. We cannot wait to see the tracker fill up! This is an optional opportunity for students, but we hope to see several participate!

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.

5th Grade Community Service Log

SO FAR, WE HAVE OVER 90 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER HOURS LOGGED FOR 5TH GRADERS!
