Parents, Thank you soooo much for all of your support this year.  The students have really hung in there and have been

working very hard.  I know these are the final days of their 5th grade year.  You should be proud of all that they have

accomplished this year.  I know that I am very proud of them and feel fortunate to have been with these amazing students!

We will be completing all work by Friday June 1st and finishing the last of the English persuasive essays on Monday June 4th

and Tuesday June 5th.  Please encourage them to continue their hard work because it will definitely pay off in the long run.

To the Algebra & Pre-Algebra math students: Keep up the fantastic work!!  Remember- Math is AWESOME!!  Keep learning & growing,

there is always more to learn. Hopefully you will have some fun along the way. :)

It has been a joy to teach all of you. May God bless you all! Love, Mrs. Leininger
