Today was our Hawaiian Beach Bash! Students surfed, put on Hawaiian shirts, made “sand” castles, tossed foam noodles, ate pineapple slices, passed coconuts and danced to the Beach Boys! Later, it was Hawaiian pizza, Capri Suns and fruit kabobs! Thanks to all the families that helped with food, donations, decorations, games, setup and cleanup! Our party was totally tubular because of everyone’s help! Here’s a sneak peak at some pictures and videos from the party today!

Last day of school, Friday, June 8

We had a great time our last of fourth grade. Everyone had their fill at our potluck picnic. Then we ran ourselves silly playing games in the courtyard!

Thanks to all the families that brought a dish to pass, helped with food preparation and cleanup, and helped with the games.

I wish everyone all the best over the summer and into fifth grade!

Here are some memories from our fourth grade year:
