Photo Sharing- if you have any pictures to share, please put them on the shared drive. If you go in the staff shared folder, then open the "Grade Level Photos" folder, there are six folders there labeled by grade level.  This is especially true if you have any photos of the Fifth Graders.  We want to try to do a slideshow for the end of the year celebration.

Thanks to everyone who helped with AR Celebration and Water Day.  The students had a blast, and the staff seemed to enjoy themselves as well.
