Mrs. Varys's Sluggers This school year should be a "HIT" with all of the great activities and learning that are taking place in fifth and sixth grade. We are going to practice our math, reading, writing, science and social studies skills each day. We will also throw in a little teamwork, participation, and enthusiasm to make this year a "Home Run"
