5th Grade Activities: 

Welcome back to school 5th Graders!!

As Co-Chairs of the 5^th Grade Activities Committee, we wanted to introduce ourselves and tell you about some of the exciting activities and events that are in store for our 5^th graders in their final year at PRS. We are hoping with your help we can make this a memorable year for our kids!

We are linking a 'volunteer spot' here with some key activities. We will need parent volunteers in order to run these events! We are looking for committee members to organize and manage the events. (Several of these events have been run for years and we have all the info you need!)

As 5th graders, it's their time to shine! Helping community service efforts, dressing up as elves at the holiday shopping spree while guiding younger classmates, rec night out, spring clean up, serving ice cream and pizza at our book fair, and bingo nights! and many many more activities! 

Please sign up below so we can make this year amazing for our kids!!

Thanks for your support!
