Our 5th grade classes will be enjoying a festive Holiday party on December 22nd from 9:00am to approximately 11:00 am. We’re planning on having a delicious pancake breakfast, cooked by our very own 5th grade teachers! While the students are enjoying a wonderful home-cooked breakfast, they will be able to sit with friends and watch a G-rated Holiday movie. We have several items that we are in need of to make our celebration a success. Your generosity is extremely appreciated, and we thank you so much!
