6th Grade Clap Out 

On the last day of school, our 6th graders will be walking the halls to say goodbye as staff and 5th graders clap for them to send them off to middle school. The 6th graders will be exiting the building at the community education doors at 10:30. Parents are welcome to line the sidewalks outside, but please leave the main doors clear for our 5th graders to exit shortly after.

House T-Shirts for Next School Year

Future 6th Grade families - Have you reserved your student's free shirt yet?

Your student will be in the same house next year, however, we know they will likely need a new shirt.  We are providing a free t-shirt for each student. You can help us by telling us your student's shirt size.  These are unisex cotton t-shirts that do shrink a little.  Please consider the size they will need all year next year.  We will hold a house apparel sale in the fall for those who wish to order additional items.  

Please take 30 seconds to complete this form today!

Buck Creek Trail Tree Watering Opportunity

WHO: Students and families who would like to assist Friends of Buck Creek and the City of Grandville with watering recently planted trees.

WHY: For 6th graders, this is a chance to dive into the learning we did throughout the year on freshwater science and conservation. For our 5th graders, it's an opportunity to help beautify the community and get a head-start on what we'll be doing in their next school year.

WHEN: Any week(s) during the summer you would like to help! A member of Friends of Buck Creek will contact you once we have received responses to this form with the times your help could be needed.

WHERE:  There are 10 trees at the cemetery, about 10 at Wedgwood Park, and 5 down the trail west of Wedgwood on the way to Canal. Each has a watering bag attached to it.

WHAT:  Bring a bucket and a funnel. The tree water bags should be filled once a week, and the easiest way would probably be to use a bucket to take water from the creek and a funnel to pour the water into the bag (since it has a small opening).  Alternately, if that’s too much work, get buckets of water from the creek and pour the water slowly onto the soil.  

Contact the Chair of the Friends of Buck Creek at mibuckcreek@gmail.com with any questions.

Please complete this form as soon as possible so planning can begin. Thank you.
