We’re excited to not only say our fifth graders are the leaders of the school, but to actually act on it. This school year we have three recesses and lunches. The three fifth grade classrooms have been divided up so that each classroom has a dedicated grade they will be outside for recess with and will be eating with in the cafeteria. An assembly conducted this morning with the fifth grade...
