Friends Good Will , and Bike Trip

What a day we had yesterday at the Friends Good Will.  The sailing was awesome, but it was a long day.  Thank you for your patience as we were later than planned.  Hopefully, that got us in shape for the bike trip coming up next Thursday!  It should be another great memory for the fifth graders.

Remember we meet at Upper Macatawa Natural Area  1300 84th Ave, Zeeland, MI 49464  at 9am.  Pick up time will be 2:30pm at the same location.

Welcome to Fifth Grade!

Welcome back to school everyone!  We had a great first week here in fifth grade.  The students have been practicing all our procedures, and learning to switch classrooms. 

We are planning a Parent Meeting Thursday Sept. 15th at 5:30pm.  We will be going over important information for our upcoming field trip “Friends Good Will Tall Ship” visit, The Bike Trip, and the Camp Pendalouan Fundraiser.   We will keep it brief, but the information will be helpful for the upcoming year. 

We are looking forward to a great school year with your students!  We are excited to be back in session!
