This year's McGraw 5th Grade Exhibition took place under the theme "Who We Are", which is described as follows:
An inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities, and cultures; rights and responsibilities; what it means to be human.
Students in each 5th Grade classroom developed a central idea related to this theme and then worked in small groups to identify and explore a topic or issue which explored aspects of their class central idea and "Who We Are". Each group's Exhibition project was focused on one of the following dimensions of health and wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, environmental.
