Tuesday, May 20th: Passion Performance for the School (no guests)

5th graders are working on a passion performance. They may be needing to bring special clothes/props to school this day, based on what their group decides. They should be able to communicate their needs with you by Monday, May 5th. Please be sure to ask them about it. 

Wednesday, May 21st @ 8:00 a.m: Passion Performance for Parents and Guests

This is the same performance as Tuesday, but this time it's just for parents and guests. 

Your child may need special clothes/props today.

Wednesday, May 21st: Science Project Showcase:

Your child is working on a science research project and will be ready to share their hard work with you! Please join us, in the cafeteria, immediately after the Passion Performance. We didn’t want to add an additional event to your calendar, so we decided to pair these two activities together. 

Thursday, May 22nd @ 8:00 a.m.: 5th Grade Graduation

This is a heartfelt event to wrap up the school year! Each child will have a moment to shine as they walk across the stage to receive their awards. Parents and Guests are welcome to join us for this celebration. Students should wear nice clothes to school but are welcome to change into something comfier afterwards. 

Thursday, May 22nd: Lunch at Ole’s (Students and Teachers only)

This is a fun Austin tradition where we walk as a grade level to Ole’s for lunch. Our PTO graciously pays for this event, so no need to send money. Vegetarian options will be available. 

Thursday, May 22nd @ 2:40 p.m.: Final Walk

The end of the school year is here! Please join us to line the halls and clap out our 5th graders as they make one final lap around the school. We have a hard start time for this event, so please plan to be in the hallway by 2:30 so you don’t miss it! Immediately after the walk, students will be able to meet up with their parents in front of the school. If your child is a regular bus rider, they can still ride the bus that day too.
