Creativity was unleashed at the 5th and 6th Grade Choir & Band Concerts! Our Bulldogs from Poland Middle School shined and howled with pride on popular tunes. We heard some amazing talent in our vocal soloists! After a year of amazing progress (and pencil sharpening!), the Bulldogs advanced to full songs on the big stage. The future of our music program is bright because of the amazing work of our choirs, bands, and directors!

Two 5th grade students smile in a school hallway dressed for Career Day. One is wearing a stethoscope and holding a stuffed animal and colorful medical kit, while the other wears safety goggles and a lab coat and holds a project titled Medical Scientist.

CAREER DAY! The 5th Grade Bulldogs presented careers to their friends in 4th grade in an always-inspiring get-together! Each year, the fifth grade class will choose a career they are interested in and present information from a box project on what schooling is required, average pay, and duties. The future is so bright for these superstars.

A group of energetic 5th grade students pose on a track in front of large bold text reading '100m DASH.' A stopwatch graphic in the corner shows a time of 8.56 seconds with a bulldog face inside the stopwatch.

The famous 100 meter dash! To practice recording, graphing, and analyzing data, Mrs. Martin's fifth graders recorded their times running 100 meters. Taking two turns each, they were able to plot on the graph how they either improved or got too tired for the second run. We got so tired just watching their energy that the kids took over the camera too!
