Principal's Message
Check Out The F.Ave Garden
We want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Carty for taking her classroom instruction to the next level this year with a new gardening unit! She has worked tirelessly to build this program from the ground up, and its impact is reaching far beyond the classroom. Several parents have shared how much more environmentally conscious their children have become. A big shoutout as well to Mrs. Wise, whose green thumb and expertise have been instrumental in making this work possible.

Fifth Avenue Upper Elementary School
