We are planning an END OF YEAR PARTY full of fun activities for our 5TH GRADERS to celebrate with their classmates before they graduate to Murphy Middle School. It's their final class party, but bigger. It's Field Day Part 2, but only for fifth graders.

DATE: Thursday, May 22

TIME: 10:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

With your help, we can create a day our 5th graders won’t forget!

In order to provide lunch, activities, supplies, and treats for this celebration, we request:

We would like to collect at least $20 from each family by April 30. Online donations can be made through the link below. Cash or checks can be placed in the PTA mailbox in the front office made payable to “Boggess Elementary PTA”.

Thanks for any donation you are able to provide!

It takes extra hands to pull off an event like this. Volunteers will help set up, run stations like games and photo booth, serve food, and clean up. Volunteers must be background checked through Voly, and only volunteers will be allowed to attend the party.

A photo slideshow will be shown during the party and at the fifth grade graduation ceremony. We have the baby photos submitted for yearbook, but we are also looking for photos from throughout their years at Boggess. Send us photos of your student at Boggess events, with their friends, with teachers and classmates, from kindergarten to this year.

Please email photos to shannonvinci@yahoo.com at the best resolution possible.

Our spirit wear coordinator, Paige Ngo, went above and beyond to fulfill orders. We sold out of sweatshirts and had outstanding orders to be filled, but we did not have enough orders to meet the minimum order requirement. Instead of canceling the orders, Paige went the extra mile to make the shirts herself in less than a week to deliver at Open House. Thanks for all you do, Paige!
