How Our 5th Graders Make an Impact
-
LEADERSHIP
Have you seen students wearing blue vests around campus or during drop-off? You’ve spotted our Blue Crew!
As part of Blue Crew, 5th graders take on leadership roles by helping younger students, supporting staff, and modeling the values we hold as Carrillo Colts. It’s a meaningful way to build confidence, responsibility, and school pride in their final year.
-
LEGACY
Throughout the year, our 5th graders work together to raise funds that give back to Carrillo and leave a lasting impact.
Through fundraisers and events, students contribute to a class gift that benefits future Colts. Past gifts have included items like a friendship bench, digital marquee, soccer goals, and equipment used for school programs and events.
