On Friday June 13th, our very own PRES 5th graders were cheered on as they exited the building. Kids in grades K-4 lined the halls and cheered their fellow students. Later that day the 5th graders officially graduated at Reservoir High School. Congratulations 5th graders! Much luck and success as you enter Middle School!

Mrs. Eulitt’s Kindergarten class worked hard in Technology class to make an alphabet book about their year. They used Pixie to draw a picture and type a sentence about their alphabet letter. Then they used the record feature to read their sentence. Ms. Clark took all their hard work and compiled into a Movie. Credit for the title goes to the book K is for Kick by Brad Herzog. I think you can agree Mrs. Eulitt’s class did a great job!
