Each year the 5th Grade Representatives work with the teachers and staff to plan for the 5th Grade end of year events. This includes creating a theme for the year, designing class t-shirts, helping with field trips, assisting with the 5th grade promotion ceremony, and organizing last day of school activities. To cover the costs of these activities, each 5th grade family is expected to pay a mandatory fee. The 5th Grade Representatives are working on a budget to determine the fee. More info coming soon.
