The last day of school for a fifth grader is a BIG DEAL. So we make it a BIG celebration! We started out the morning with wacky olympics. Then we made our graduation hats and signed year books. Then we had an awesome glow in the dark DANCE PARTY! Then pizza, memories, and then the graduation walk! Wow!
We painted nails, went on a scavenger hunt, pitched some tents, sang some karaoke, and made friendship bracelets. Not a bad way to end the school year! Sleep over in the commons was super cool!
