Mrs. Openshaw & Mrs. Haines are so proud of their students! All of our students participated (all 43 of them made and turned in a shoebox float) and did a great job! Even though the presentation part of the assignment looked a little bit different than past years, the students were still able to invite someone to come walk through and see what the 5th graders have learned.
