As the year winds down, we would like to comment on the growth we have seen in our fifth grade students. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. McGrath have graciously guided our students through their Student Council projects each month. Officer A’Hearn and Mrs. Dumont continue to support our 5th graders and are constantly nearby as visual reminders of the very important R.I.S.E. program, from which our students graduated. The Lunch Bunch program with Mrs. Horgan offered a special Friday “outlet” for old and new friendships. We are confident that the John R. Briggs graduating class of 2006 will represent us well at Overlook Middle School. Thank you to all parents and staff for your support of this wonderful 5th Grade class.
