SCHOOL CLOSURES
Winter is here...at least the heavy frosts and the first snowflakes of the season! Five Acre School follows the Sequim School District school closure policy...if they are closed or have a late start morning Five Acre School will do so too. You can check their website each morning by 6:00 am or listen to KONP for an update on our closure.
Announcements
- Have you noticed the BIG HILL next to the parking lot? It's all been weeded and planted with Spring bulbs and wildflowers...compliments of Caro Torgessen (Jade's Grandma) AND the Primary Class students. It was a huge job and took several days of weeding and digging. Five Acre School truly welcomes parents, grandparents, and volunteers to be involved with the students' activities and classroom projects. Everyone will certainly appreciate this project even more next spring when all of the flowers are in bloom! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
