Every year, our 5th graders participate in a rite of passage that has become one of the sweetest reminders of who we are as a school community.
Everyone dreams of the day they get to spend it “Dodging out of 5th grade.”
Parents show up in outrageous costumes. Students take the court. Dodgeballs fly.
But beneath all the laughter is something deeper.
It’s a reminder that parent partnership isn’t just about the hard work of helping children learn and grow. It’s about making memories together too.
Years from now, most of these students won’t remember what happened in class on the last days of school. But there’s a good chance they’ll remember the day their parents showed up looking ridiculous, laughed alongside them, and chose to be fully present for one more memory.
And maybe that’s what they’ll remember most about being part of this community…not just that they were taught well, but that they were surrounded by people who showed up, celebrated often, and found joy in doing life together.
That’s the kind of community we’re grateful to be part of.
See you in 6th!
