My Project

I am asking for items like food, decorations, prizes, and play mats to throw my 5th graders an epic end of the school year celebration.

My 5th graders work incredibly hard all school year long and a lot is of asked of them as they are required to complete five state tests at the end of the year.

They deserve to be celebrated when it is all said and done. Giving the 5th graders just a day to be 10 and 11 year-olds before they go into summer and then off to different middle schools is the least I can do after all of the hard work they have put in all year. I always try to make it a day that they will remember for many years to come!
