Hello 5th Grade families! I can’t believe this is the final year of elementary school and then I will be seeing our Eagles fly the nest to their next adventure. I want to take the opportunity this year to showcase their athletic talents. Last year it brought so much joy to show the videos to the entire school and put a spotlight on our fifth graders. I would love to extend this opportunity to our fifth grade team and have you fill out the Google Forms in order to gather video clips and use them to create a showcase that would align to our units. Here are some upcoming units:

• Throwing and Catching (football, lacrosse, etc.)
• Volleyball
• Soccer
• Jump Rope
• Dance
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Baseball/Softball/Hockey (striking with implement)
• Gymnastics

Not a part of our units but would still love to showcase is swimming or any other sport that your child is doing that is not on the list. You are welcome to send me short video clips and pictures to my email as well carrilloam@fultonschools.org or CLICK HERE FOR FORM.

Thank you for letting me celebrate them and make their 5th grade year memorable!
