Fifth Grade

Class of 2027 - August Update

Dear 5th Grade Families,

Welcome to an exciting year for the Class of 2027!

As our students begin their final year at P.S. 59, we look forward to celebrating their growth, leadership, accomplishments, and the many memories they will create before moving on to middle school. Fifth grade is a special year filled with traditions, leadership opportunities, milestone celebrations, and unforgettable experiences. We cannot wait to make this year one to remember!

🌟 Fifth Grade First Day Family Welcome Team

We are looking for enthusiastic 5th grade students to help welcome families on the first day of school!

Students who volunteer will:

  • Receive a special Class of 2027 Sash
  • Be assigned important responsibilities
  • Greet students and families upon arrival
  • Assist staff with welcoming new students and visitors
  • Help make the first day of school a positive experience for everyone

Students who do not sign up for the Welcome Team should report directly to the cafeteria upon arrival and wait with their class for their teachers. 

🎨 Class of 2027 T-Shirt Design Contest

Calling all artists and creative thinkers!

We are inviting students to submit designs for our official Class of 2027 T-Shirt. This is an opportunity for students to leave their mark on this special year and create a design that represents their class.

Design Guidelines:

    • Must include Class of 2027
  • Must include our school name or logo
  • Design may use no more than 3 colors
  • T-shirt color can be blue or white
  • Original artwork only
  • School-appropriate designs
  • Designs may be hand-drawn or created digitally

Submission Deadline: September 1, 2026, email your designs to pta@theharborviewschool.org 

All submitted designs will be reviewed by the P.S. 59 PTA Executive Board and 5th Grade Team, who will select three finalist designs. Fifth grade students will then have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design in September, and the winning design will become our official Class of 2027 T-Shirt!

We can't wait to see the creativity and school spirit of our fifth graders!
