__**Fifth Grade Graduation Picnic**__

Hello families! After our fabulous fifth graders graduate on Thursday, June 7th, we will join together near the parent drop-off area outside Crozet for a celebratory Graduation Picnic. Crozet Elementary will provide hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, and condiments, and a graduation cake, but we are looking for potluck donations for sides and additional supplies. If you are planning to attend and would like to contribute, please sign up for an item on the sheet sent home in the Tuesday envelope, send back to your child’s homeroom teacher by Tuesday, May 22nd, and wait for confirmation. Thanks so much in advance, and we’re looking forward to celebrating!
