WELCOME!!

Hello all!

Welcome to 5th grade!! I hope you all had a fun and relaxing summer break and also hope that you're refreshed and ready to get back to work.  For those of you who know me, I am extremely light hearted, I love to laugh but I like to get work done.  This year you are going to work hard and push yourself harder than you thought possible to become a smarter human, a more empathetic person and the best version of yourself.  I look forward to seeing all of you and cannot wait to start our year together :).

Enjoy your last few days of freedom. 😂

Mrs. Evans 💪
