We Need Your Help! - 5th Grade Legacy Project

You may have seen some of the incredible 5th grade Legacy projects around the school... 

 2024 - the sky-is-the-limit cloud tiles

2023 - the tree opposite the FW office entrance

2022 - the butterfly on the wall next to kindergarten foyer ramp

... or the tiles in the cafeteria, the chart above the gym entrance, the wooden poles near the portables.

 

These projects are meaningful ways our 5th graders leave their mark on the school.

 

Would you be interested in chairing this year’s Legacy Project? It’s a fun task that is even more enjoyable when done as a team. We are looking for a 5th grade parent volunteer to be the point of contact and help lead this wonderful project.
