Dear 5th Grade Families,
We’re excited to announce the kickoff of our much-anticipated 5th grade field trip to Washington, D.C.! This unforgettable adventure is a wonderful opportunity for our students to explore our nation’s capital, connect what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world history, and create lasting memories with their classmates.
We’ll be sharing more details soon about dates, itinerary highlights, costs, fundraising opportunities, and how parents can get involved. For now, please save the date for our Parent Information Night on August 20, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. via google meets, where we’ll go over everything you need to know. QR Codes will be sent home with your students to join the meeting.
We can’t wait to embark on this exciting journey with our amazing 5th graders—and we’re so glad to have your support along the way!
