We've arrived at this special moment for us to celebrate our fifth grade class as they move on from the Webster School. While they may be leaving us, their legacy will be a part of the unbreakable fabric of the Webster School community. I
002find great inspiration from the awesome fact that our future, the future of America, is in the classroom, especially here at the Webster School. I can say that our future is filled with tremendous hope and kindness when we consider the outstanding fifth grade students of the Webster School. These fifth grade students have been just the leaders we needed to positively impact the Webster School for many years to come. So, let's have a round of applause for all of them.
