Meeting, Wetlands, Field Trips

Fifth Grade Parent Meeting scheduled for Sept. 22 at 5:30pm this week!

I hope the kids are starting to get into the groove.  We had a great week and they really enjoyed getting in the wetlands and learning about animals characteristics. 

We took a surprise field trip to the Van Raalte Civil War encampment on Friday afternoon.  We were unsure if we could go until late this week, but luckily we pulled it off at the last minute.

Next week is a big one!  We have our Friends Goodwill Sailing / Michigan Maritime visit.  Please read the note that is attached to the email or the paper copy coming home.  There is some important information on there. The biggest is a late pick– up at school.  We usually return around 5:45-6pm. Thank you again for all your support, we are trying to make your fifth graders last year of elementary one of the best!
