Time to Celebrate!

These are some pictures from our end-of-the-year celebration...
All week, we've been talking about the state of Hawaii. Today, we enjoyed a Hawaiian "luau"...Mrs. McAllister made lots of traditional Hawaiian food, then we did the limbo. One of the highlights of the party was the hula competition. It was boys against girls and Mrs. Vann declared the boys as the WINNERS! What a great day! Thanks again to Mrs. McAllister, our wonderful parent volunteers and, of course, our FABULOUS FOURTH GRADERS!!
Have a great summer!!
