Well, we did it. Our 5th grade teachers put together an amazing morning for your moving up 4th grade children. We had a morning filled with Q&A with Mr. Day and myself, building tours and games in the classrooms. After that our elementary PTAs had popsicles for us outside so the SU and Flo Ro students could mingle and they did… YAY!!! We saw a number of students from Flo Ro reconnecting with their SU friends and vice versa. Here are some pictures from our morning.
