Hello 5th Grade Families! 

We are so excited to be sharing with you about the upcoming 5th grade picnic. Our kiddos have worked so hard and we can´t wait to celebrate all of their success with an EPIC 5th Grade Picnic on Friday, June 6th. 

In order to ensure the day is truly epic we need a little help from you. Below we have links to a signup genius for volunteers and supplies to be borrowed (coolers/pop up tents, etc) and an Amazon wish list with consumable items needed. We hope you don´t mind helping us to check some of these items off the list.
