Our 5th Grade Extravaganza is Friday at Faith Community Church.  Fifth grade teachers will remain with their homeroom class throughout the event.  Masks will be required, with frequent mask breaks.  Teachers will walk students to and from Faith through a trail cleared by our PTO (do not walk near Highway 11).  We will come back to the school for our final outside activity at 2:30.   (K-4, please do not take your students out to recess after 2:30.)  

Please remember:  We cannot invite parents due to our no visitor policy this year.  We are so excited to be able to have this event, but must adhere to all health and safety guidelines currently in place.  

Fifth grade teachers:  there will be a dunking booth (for students to dunk faculty), so if you would like get in please make sure you bring a change of clothes (but of course this is optional).  

A portion of our staff will be needed for the extravaganza so we will have a modified schedule for K-4, which will encompass an hour of PE/Field Day, but no specials (see below).
