End of Year Celebration Friday, May 13th from 5:30-7:30
Families, students, and staff are invited to join us anytime Friday, May 13th from 5:30 to 7:30 outside at Horn.  Please plan to walk from home or park in the nearby neighborhoods as the parking lot will be blocked off.

Bouncy houses, Kona Ice, and yard games available for free to all on the front/upper grade playground!  Enjoy a visit from Herky the Hawk and Hemi the Hornet.  Have a yard game you'd like to bring and share? Sign-up here.

6th Grade Party Friday, May 20th from 6:00-8:00pm
Each year, 6th grade parents plan a special celebration for the 6th graders.  A donation and volunteer sign-up will go out soon for those who would like to contribute or help out.  Parents who are not volunteering may take a look around at the decorations, snap some pictures, and then head home.  Students will not be allowed to leave before 8:00 without a parent.  Please plan to pick your student up promptly at 8:00.

If you have questions or would like to help with the planning, etc., please email Laura: Lbroffitt@yahoo.com

Please complete this brief Google Form to let us know if your 6th grade student will attend and how they will get home at the end of the party.
