6th Grade Posters
As you may have seen in take-home flyers, we are continuing the tradition of honoring our 6th graders by decorating the front hallway with a poster of each student. It is especially important that our 6th graders feel celebrated after these whirlwind last few years.
Each student should have already brought home a 12x18" piece of construction paper to use for the poster. If you need another, please contact the office or have your student swing by to get one.* Please decorate it with pictures of your child and notes of encouragement along with his/her name. Be creative and have fun walking down memory lane!
*If you would like to use a different color paper or type of paper, you may, as long as it is 12x18" in size.
DUE DATE: No later than Friday, June 2nd - Please turn in to the office so that they can be hung up for students to enjoy.
Thank you!
