5th Grade Class Creations
We’ve been saying it for weeks—Class Creations are a win-win-win: students have a chance to work together to make something amazing, you have a chance to own a piece of original artwork that’s also a piece of Lafayette history. In their final year at Lafayette, 5th grade completes two amazing Class Creations. The 5th grade quilt has been a Lafayette tradition for over 30 years, and this year’s is a beauty. 5th grade also leaves us with their final words by completing the phrase “I believe…”. Written on the leaves of a tree their hopes and desires for now and the future shine through. Lafayette students at their finest! Fall in love at first sight here and be ready to bid high on these two amazing works of art on Auction night.

5th Grade has been busy on their final Class Creations!
