To
Honor Graduated Students of Palm City Elementary
History of the Fifth Grade Legacy
by Nancy Marin, Principal
| In 1994, when Mrs. Stephanie Parrish
(currently teaching 1st grade) was our assistant principal,
she mentioned to me that she thought it would be nice if every
fifth grader left a legacy. I asked her how she envisioned
that happening, and she suggested that we paint a bookcase
on the wall in the 5th grade hallway, have each 5th grader
choose his or her favorite book, and instead of putting the
author's name on the book, put the student's. It sounded like
a wonderful idea, and I asked her who she had in mind to paint
the bookcase. She lightly said, "Oh, I'll find a parent
or volunteer to do it. " And the tradition began. Please
enjoy the bookcase murals, and watch for some history on each. |
