Other Fourth Grade Student Activities

Our fourth graders will have fun field trips throughout the year. The highlight will be a day trip to Austin in the spring to tour the state capitol and learn about Texas History! Field trip fees will be collected separately by the school at a later date.

Carnival Dunk Tank
Fourth graders can make a big splash at the Carnival by taking a turn in the dunk tank!
