What a fun filled week of learning and celebrating learning we have had here! Thank you to everyone who came out for our Evening With The Arts event. The performances were awesome and the artwork was amazing. Your children really out did themselves! And so did our specials teachers! Thank you to them for all the work that went into helping our kids showcase their work.
We have completed our winter STAR benchmark this week. So far my analysis of these scores looks really good. I am very impressed with the progress the students have made. I am excited to see how far they will go! I have had new readers in my office this week proudly reading books to me and I love that! What an exciting moment in their life when they realize they can read a book all by themselves. We really do have the best, hardest working students and teachers here at Yealey! I am a very lucky and grateful principal!
The PTA finished up their Santa Shop this week and I think you will have some very nice surprises under your tree. I hope you enjoy them as much as the kids have enjoyed having their own special gifts to give. The PTA appreciates your support. We sent home as much of the fundraising items as we could with the students this week. If you still have not picked yours up, please do so before the break.
I will probably not update the blog again until 2019. Next week we have school Monday - Wednesday and we come back to school on Thursday January 3rd. I hope you all have a great break and can fill the days with quality together with family and friends.
Happy Holidays!
Mrs. Turner
