Ski Trip

5th grade students had a wonderful time at our ski trip. Thank you so much to the parents and chaperones who attended. All your help was appreciated!

4th /5th Grade Musical

Our spring program will be Tuesday March 22nd at 7:00 at the highschool PAC. Mrs. Heintzelman will be sending home information regarding costumes and details. There will also be a few speaking parts the kids can try out for. Information should come home with the kids from music class. Kids will need to arrive between 6:30 and 6:45 for warm up and practice.

K Wings Hockey Game

Those students who earn 100% of their reading goal for the 3rd marking period will attend a Wings Stadium hockey game on March 30th. There is no charge for this event. Students are welcome to bring money for souveniers, lunch etc.

It is our home that all 5th grade students will be able to attend. Please make sure that your student is reading the required 30 minutes a night. Their goals are set based on the assumption that they ARE reading each night. If they are not, they cannot possibly meet their goal.

Valentines Day

As with all of our other parties, we will have a joint party on Friday February 11th. The party will be a Chocolate Celebration for solving our "Chocolate Caper"... a project that we have been working on for the last few months. We have plenty of plates, napkins and beverages... what we DO need is chocolate! We would like to have a Chocolate Smorgasborg. Anyone interested in sending in a chocolate treat is encouraged to do so. You can never have too much chocolate!

As individual classes we will be passing out and opening valentines on Monday February 14th. A list of your student's classmate names will come home this week.

Parents are welcome to come to our chocolate party on Friday from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. If you can come, please let your classroom teacher know.

Conferences

The 5th grade teachers look forward to seeing all families at conferences February 3rd and 10th. Scheduling notes went home last week and should be returned asap if they have not already been brought back.
