5th Grade Advancement 

We can’t wait to celebrate our special 5th graders and are excited to carry on our many end-of-year traditions to create a fun and memorable final year for our children at Baywood. Each year, the 5th grade class collects funds to cover end of year promotion activities.  This all-inclusive fund will cover the following: 

• Promotion Ceremony with Personalized Certificate
• Year-end Class Trip to Dave & Buster's (transportation, food, unlimited games)
• Baywood Class of 2025 Custom T-Shirt
• Baywood Yearbook
• Teacher gifts and staff thank you notes
• Class art project to benefit the school grounds
• Refreshments for annual activity day
• …and more!

This year’s recommended contribution is $90 per student (or an amount comfortable for your family) to cover these costs. Please contribute to this class fund - across the District, these expenses are NOT covered in operating budgets. 

Requests of Parents / Guardians:

1. Please Confirm Your Child’s Name - Please share the name you want printed on your child’s promotion certificate (included in contribution form above). 

2. Please Contribute $90 Toward our Fifth Grade Fund - Your support will cover the costs of our fifth grade celebration activities for your child (see contribution form above).

3. 5th Grade Baby Photo Contest - Please dig up an old baby photo and send it our way! 5th graders will have the opportunity to participate in a “Guess the Baby Photo Contest” the last week of school.  Prizes will be awarded for the most correct answers. If you would like to participate, please submit ONE baby photo using this Google form.
