Yealey Families,

I hope you've been able to stay warm this week.  I can't believe the February temps we are getting in December!

Thanks to everyone who supported the Santa Shop this week.  I know the kids are excited to come home with their gift surprises for everyone.  It takes a lot of work and a lot of volunteers to pull it off and it went very smoothly.

Next week is our last week before Winter Break.  There will be lots of  activities next week so be sure to pay attention to Bloomz messages from your homeroom teachers.  The last day of  school is December 20th and we return to school on January 6th.  

Over the break there will be lots of work happening at Yealey with our construction crews.  When we return in January the office will have a facelift and hopefully Kindergarten and First grade will be back in their normal classrooms.  Fifth grade is now going to be renovated starting in January.  So they will help us move to their temporary rooms in the main hallway when we come back from break.  Things are starting to really come together and it's looking great!

There will be no blog update next Friday.  I hope everyone has a wonderful break and enjoys the holidays.  

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

A big thank you to all the 3rd - 5th grade families who joined us for Evening With The Arts last night.  It was one amazing performance after another along with beautiful artwork on display. Also, thank you to the chaperones and Mrs. Brown for the great chorus field trip today.  If you'd like to see our chorus perform, their final performance for the season will be Tuesday evening, 6:30 pm at Florence First Church of Christ.  I love hearing my Yealey Bobcat Chorus sing and feel like the holiday season is really kicked off with this performance.

We are in the process of taking our mid-year benchmark STAR assessment.  I am excited to see the growth the students have made.  Parent reports will come home once all the assessments are complete.

Please be sure to pay attention to Bloomz messages from your homeroom teachers.  There are lots of fun things happening over the next two weeks and they will be sure to keep you up to date on everything going on.

We are continuing to look for a minority rep for our SBDM council.  Serving on the council requires a training each year, attending monthly meetings, and occasional extra meetings during the hiring process. If you are a minority and are interested in serving, please email amy.roedersheimer@boone.kyschools.us .

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend.  

See you on Monday,

Mrs. Turner
