5th Grade Committee

Our 5th graders have a lot of exciting events and activities throughout the year. And none of these would be possible without our wonderful volunteers. There are many ways you can help at school and at home!

5th Grade Fundraising

During the year, we typically have a few fundraisers specifically benefiting the 5th grade. These support the 5th grade class t-shirt, Yearbook, the Legacy Gift, and the Last Day of School Celebration. The Sacajawea PTA contributes an additional $1,500 annually to be used for the Last Day of School Celebration: the 5th grade farewell. The Snack Shack sales, held at Family Fun events and select lunch periods, are one popular fundraiser benefiting the 5th grade. Watch for requests coming home with your 5th-grader throughout the year!  

Legacy Gift

Each year, based on funds, the 5th grade committee researches school needs and decides on a gift the 5th graders can present to the school. Examples of past Legacy gifts include donations to the Sacajawea Media Center, a new Skyhawk costume for our Self-Manager Assemblies, and a new outdoor picnic table for the Sacajawea grounds.  

​

The Last Day of School Celebration is meant to be a special day for our 5th graders and 5th grade parent volunteers. The kids have a field day with fun activities. They enjoy a picnic lunch (i.e., pizza or boxed lunches) and time together to sign yearbooks. Most of the planning for this event starts in February/March.

We always need volunteers!
