Hello Great Fifth Grade Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is always a great time to be together with family and reflect on all the positives in our lives. I am very thankful to have a great group of students this year. They are very kind, compassionate, and considerate of others. These are values that are taught at home from a very young age. Thank you for instilling these traits in your children.
Please take a few moments to check out the upcoming (and busy) events over the next few weeks!
Thank you,
Adam Johnson
