We wrapped up the year with a fun and delicious 5th Grade Cookout! Our students got to enjoy hamburgers and hot dogs hot off the grill! Thanks to the generous support of our amazing PTA for donating all of our hot dogs!!
From the grill masters to the helping hands at the serving tables, and of course the smiling faces of our students, it was a day full of good food, laughter, and great memories.
Thank you to everyone who made this celebration possible for our graduating 5th graders β what a way to kick off summer!
