Grade 5…Mr. Burks

Fifth grade thanks Kim Rigsby for her time and skill in teaching them about the color wheel and how to use it when painting. Remember to send any caps that are not being used so we can give them as gifts to men at the nursing home. I know the students are sad that this is a short week and they have all the next week off. :) Have a great week and fall break.
