Class of 2026 5th Grade Committee

Our fifth graders have come so far and learned so much in elementary school, and this is a great time to celebrate all of the Nixon memories they have made. To help make this year special for our children - the 5th Grade Committee is planning several fun events throughout the year. The special 5th grade activities that our children will have the opportunity to participate in include: 

FUNDRAISING – 5th graders organize and execute fundraisers to pay for the 5th grade events such as the 5th grade car wash, bake sale tables and a coin competition. 

First fundraising event of the year: Table at Fall Fest on 10/17. Sign up HERE to donate and volunteer.

Second fundraising event of the year: Splash and Dash car wash on 10/18. Sign up HERE to volunteer.

T-SHIRTS – The class gets custom shirts to wear to all of their special events! 

SOCIALS – 5th graders get unique social experiences like bowling, movie night and 5th grade field day! 

SERVICE – Students participate in a service project in addition to their specific assigned jobs around Nixon. 

END OF THE YEAR CELEBRATION – Students have a special end-of-the-year beach party to wind down their last year of elementary school! 

WINGS OF WISDOM – A wonderful ceremony in June to celebrate their graduation from elementary school. 

If you would like to help plan the special events for your 5th grader, please sign up on the online Volunteer Central form, and we will be in touch to coordinate volunteers. Any help is welcome!
