Congratulations to Kacie for winning first place in the Dr. Seuss week poster contest.  Our class gets a popcorn party for her win!!!

The city of Troy annual Clean and Green Week is April 13-17.  Grades K4 through 6th will participate in the recycling contest.  5th grade has plastic so begin saving your plastic now :-)  The winning grade gets a party.


From Mrs. Powell...
The 5th grade classes are having a bake sale to raise money to honor local people in our community.  We are participating in a program called Liberty’s Legacy that promotes being a good American citizen and honoring heroes. We will have cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats, cake and other sweet treats. All items will be $1.00.  Students can eat the treats at break or lunch.  We are trying to raise a total of $245 to honor these heroes through this program.    The bake sale will be Thursday, March 12th starting around 8:20.  We are really excited about this and we hope that you will allow your child to enjoy a delicious, sweet treat to help this great cause.
