5th Grade Medieval Day 2024
Dear Willow Springs families,
We are all making the most of our time together as we head towards the end of this school year. Our teachers and students are filling the days with highly engaging and fun learning opportunities and celebrations. Yesterday, our 5th graders experienced a full day of medieval life to include a parade, sword dancing, parties, and an outdoor market where students bartered for goods.
Our 4th graders have been busy with their learning presentations and have explored a wide array of topics from space to recycling to the afterlife and more. They worked hard conducting research, writing and presenting their learning to an audience.
There is something special happening at every grade level so be sure to ask your children about their special end of year activities.
We hope all of you will be with us here in school until the last day on Wednesday, June 12th. Don't forget it will be an early dismissal day.
We wish all of you a terrific weekend. Thank you for sending us your best every day! #WillowPride
Take care!
Dylan Taylor, Principal
Ipsa Stringer, Assistant Principal
