And just like that...5th grade has come to an end! These former 5th graders are moving on to middle school in the fall. The last day of school was an absolute blast with bowling, pizza in the park, and the grand finale....GRADUATION! A huge shout out and thank you to the BEST PTO EVER for sponsoring the last day festivities and to all of our phenomenal parent volunteers who helped make this day possible. This was the day every 5th grader waited all year for...and it was worth the wait. We couldn't do it without you!

Memories....pressed between the pages of my mind. One of our most treasured traditions in the Cavett 5th grade is sharing our most favorite memory of our time at Cavett. If you have had the opportunity, in recent days, to walk the halls of Cavett or stop by the office, I hope you took some time to read the 5th grade memories. Thank you for sharing these, 5th graders! We have loved reading them.
