Fifth grade graduation will take place on the last day of school which is June 9. We begin right at 7:45 and the reception is usually over no later than 10:00. I am letting you know in advance so you can possibly get off of work for the morning. We also ask that boys wear dress pants and a nice shirt. Please no jeans. Girls are asked to wear skirts or dresses.
