The Evergreen Elementary School has moved on its fifth-grade class for the last time. A plan that has been some time in the making has finally come to pass following the end of this school year.
On Thursday, May 30th, fifth-grade students were treated to an award ceremony with their parents in attendance.
During the ceremony, a heartfelt speech was given by some of the staff regarding the move of fifth-grade classes from the elementary school to the middle School.
A few tears were shed by some, seeing as how not only the students were moving, but staff members for fifth-grade students as well.
The process to start the transition came well over a year ago, with board members being presented with the idea on during the December 19th, 2022, board meeting.
Everything was finally put into motion during the May 18th, 2023, Board of Education meeting when board members voted to develop a viable plan to move the fifth-grade level students to the middle school for the 2024-2025 school year.
This coming school year will see fourth-grade students, who just recently graduated, move over to the middle school building for fifth grade. This will be in addition to this year’s fifth-grade students who will be moving over to the building to start sixth grade.
