Grade 5 Kids' Night Out

The first 5th grade Kids Night Out will be held on Friday, November 2nd from 7-8:30 pm. Cost for each child will be $15 at the door. This fall's event is themed "Mr Grenham's Great Library Escape (based on the Mr Lemoncello's Libary books). We will have games/stations based upon different popular children's books (ie Cyclops Cornhole represents the Percy Jackson books), as well as the "Guess How Many Jars", a new DJ to play music and entertain the kids in the cafeteria, and much more. We need parent volunteers to make this a fun and safe event for the kids. Please consider signing up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b44afa728a7fc1-spring Thank you!
