Boxes Of Hope
By Haley P, Cassidy S, Chloe B and Jackson K
Boxes of hope is a school tradition, that 5th grade does every year at CFES. It is like a secret Santa, because you get a random person to give your box of hope. The boxes of hope have things like poems, creative ideas and more. It was originated on a story about a great-grandfather giving his sister a box. He forgot to put something in the box and was very nervous of her reaction. But when his sister opened it, she said there was hope in it even though there was actually nothing in the box. Inside of your box, you give five genuine compliments, a short story or poem, a letter of encouragement, five terrific things about the person your giving it to, an illustration, and a gift under five dollars or a book. The true meaning of boxes of hope is not giving gifts, it is about the kind words people have to say about you! Opening the boxes brings you joy and happiness, and that's what boxes of hope are al

Open Seating in lunch for 5th graders!
By ~ Chloe B, Jackson K, Haley P, Cassidy S
Open seating is where you can sit anywhere in lunch between six tables.
But there are some rules:
- You can only sit down once, and cannot move from that spot..
- Also you cannot save seats, and you can't promise to save someone a seat!
- You can't sit with any other grades except for 5th.
- If you misbehave, you lose the open seating privilege!
- If you follow the rules then they might add more open seating days.
Open seating is meant to be a fun day where you can sit with friends, or new students you’ve never met before! Also, this is supposed to prepare 5th graders for 6th grade. (You sit anywhere in the cafeteria in sixth grade!)
If one person gets three warnings they will get there open seating away.
Hopefully, open seating will make it to future grades so everyone can enjoy it!
