END OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, today our 5th graders were promoted! We held our awards ceremony and our students looked soooooooooooooooooooooo nice! We had made little "paperdolls" of each student with their future goals on it to display in the foyer and they turned out really cute.
Good luck to our new "6th graders" as you go forward in life! We love you all and wish you well. Never stop learning and growing and always remember to be respectful, kind, and hardworking! We look forward to hearing good things about you when you're in Middle School and even when you're all grown up!

Don't Forget Our Party On Monday!

Please remember to bring party food and something for YOU to drink for the party on Monday at 1:30! (My homeroom) We are also going to be practicing your songs and the promotion ceremony so come prepared to practice, practice, practice!

Tuesday is the promotion ceremony so remember to dress nicely (church attire) and remind your parents that you can leave right after the promotion ceremony and after you have your report card! This is soooooooooooooooooo exciting!!!! Only one and a half days left!

Field Day Today!

Well, today was field day and we sure had a lot of fun! Even the teachers participated in the game where you had to have a team of six walking in sync on two platforms! What fun! The students got snow cones, slid down the water slide and participated in many athletic competitions in the gym. Thanks to Coach James for organizing it all for us. We're going to miss him when he retires at the end of this year!

A FUN FUN FUN Fieldtrip To Amazement Square!

Well, today we had a BLAST! We took 37 fifth-graders, 8 parents, and 3 teachers to Amazement Square in Lynchburg, VA followed by a SCRUMPTIOUS buffet lunchon at Golden Corral! Everyone had a great time and we had the BEST behaved group there! Several people complimented our Taylor Toucans and I was sooooooooooooo proud of them! They went to two workshops on Cells and Light/Sound and demonstated that they knew A LOT!!!! Good job!!!! We had a ball playing with all of the displays and then sliding down tunnels and riding the zip line! Miss Dudley even got Mrs. Appleton to slide down a couple of tubes......you can see by the picture that Mrs. Appleton had a rough time with that one tube!hahahahahhahahahahaha What a fun day!!!Thank you to all of the WONDERFUL chaperones who went with us and had a ball with their kids!
