The End Times

We had a flyer go home today regarding some "end of fifth grade" items coming up. I hate the first line at the top: "The time has come for our 5th graders to say farewell to Woodbrook Elementary!" What? It's the start of the second half of the year. Don't shove them out too quickly, people! We still have four more Math units to cover, four more Language Arts units, two more writing units, and a butt-load more of Social Studies and some more Science as well. That's half a year's worth. And here I thought the problem was with Clay tugging them out too quickly.

Anyway, if your child didn't bring this home today, here are the biggies:

• Graduation Ceremony: May 30th, 9:00 (!) in the gym.
• Graduation Party: May 30th, Northview Church, 5:30-8:00. 
• Gleaners Food Bank Project: Saturday, March 24th, 8:45-12:00. (I have done this with only my class the past couple years--it's been great!)
• Laser Flash: January 28th, 4p-6p.

There you go! Don't forget, we're only halfway through, guys. Still much more to do, as of right now!
