Dear Parents, It is incredible to believe that the end of the school year is quickly approaching. For your children, it will mark the end of their time here at South Elementary. Every year, we plan a series of activities for our departing fifth grade class. All of these activities have been planned to enhance the curriculum and to provide a fitting farewell to their elementary school years. We have received an overwhelming response from the room parents as well as numerous other volunteers for many of these activities. Thank you for your continued support. As you all know, it does “take a village...” Here is a list of the end of the year activities so that you can put them on your calendars. Note that Wednesday, June 22 , will be the last day of school for students. Here are some important dates for you and your fifth grader as the school year draws to a close:
**Thursday, April 28 , Incoming Sixth Grade Parent Information Night @ Hingham Middle School, 7:00 p.m. Any questions, please contact HMS
