During their final year at the Harry S. Truman Elementary School, students enjoy interesting, innovative, hands-on learning experiences.  Our students participate in a motivating science curriculum, focusing on living things, the solar system, health topics, and light and sound.  Students will have the opportunity to be scientists while performing numerous experiments.  Field trips to the Wildlands Conservancy and the Weller Center enhance the science program.  Historical studies are enhanced by a trip to The Colonial Quarter in Historic Bethlehem.  Fifth grade students spearhead the annual Spirit of Giving project in December, which contributes to a local community service.  Fifth grade students have the opportunity to read the morning announcements and to become school safety patrols.

The fifth grade team members consist of:

                                            Mr. Christopher Adams
                                            Mrs. Linda Helfrich
                                            Mrs. Lori McGinley
                                            Mrs. Diane Kasaczun
