Last day of school, Thursday, June 17

We had a great time our last day of fourth grade! Everyone had their fill at our potluck picnic. Then we ran ourselves silly playing games in the courtyard!

Thanks to all the families that brought a dish to pass, helped with food preparation and cleanup, and helped with the games.

I wish everyone all the best over the summer and into fifth grade! We’ll make our fifth grade year even better!

Here are some memories from our fourth grade year:
