5. Cooler Weather: Just a reminder that we go outside for recess unless it is raining or below 5 degrees. Be sure that your students have coats and gloves as needed.
4. Please Remember: Supervision does not start until 8:15. When student are our front before 8:15 there are no adults to monitor activity. We ask students to stand in their grade level lines and not run around making injury or accidents more likely. Please remind your student of this.

Veteran's Day
5th Grade celebrates and shares the meaning of Veteran's Day every year with Ezra. Students: Jay G., Silvie K., and Levi R. spoke over the announcements about the meaning of Veteran's Day, a Veteran's Day Poem and the "why". 5th Grade later had family members that have served come and speak to the 5th grade classrooms. To all of our Veterans: We thank you for your service, today and everyday!
