Let’s send our Fifth Graders off in style with an End of Year Picnic on Wednesday, May 27 from 9:45AM to 2:15PM! The picnic will be held at OLNEY PARK in Falls Church (Fairfax).
 
We need YOU to make this a great event for our students! Volunteers are needed for set up (9-9:45AM), clean up (2-2:30PM), grilling, face painting, food distribution, and to help manage the picnic from 9:30AM-2PM.
