I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season. It certainly was a busy month,everyone enjoyed the Yelle Kids Raffle. We raised over $3000.00 which will be used for curriculum materials and activities. The Helping Hands group did a great job collecting and wrapping gifts for our friends over at The Old Colonial Nursing Home - Thank you to all that helped us bring the Spirit of the Season to our friends .
January is going to be a very active month, we will continue covering all of our Literacy and Mathematics curriculum, while also working on our Social Competency Skills.
I wish you the Very Happiest and Healthiest of New Years!

Reasons to Be Thankful !
Happy Thanksgiving,
The holiday season is again upon us. There are many reasons for all of the Yelle Elementary School family to be thankful this season. We have once again come together to support members of our community. Last week we had a Hat Day to help raise funds to support one of our families who suffered through a recent house fire. The Yelle school community raised over $400.00 which was donated to the family, so that they may start to replace some of their personal belongings.
The Helping Hands group also donated many cases of can goods which will be delivered to the Norton Food Pantry. This group of 4th and 5th graders give of their time after school to help the community. During the holiday season they will continue their giving by creating over 40 gift baskets to donate to a local nursing home.
In closing I would like to say that I am very thankful to be working with such a caring and wonderful group of students, staff and parent group. I hope that each of you enjoys the Holiday Season!

Falling into October
Greetings,
The days have finally begun to cool down and the leaves are falling off the trees, these are all signs of Autumn in New England. The Yelle signs of Autumn are all around also, we have students doing challenging math problems, such as making combinations. In reading we are dicussing great stories and beginning to create our own personal narratives. If you happen to see Mrs. Haglund walking about you may notice she has an interesting name tag each day. Mrs. Almeida's class is busy discussing and playing parts of the solar system - what is rotation?
Please remember on Oct. 13th we are having a Relay for Yelle Day. This is our only fundraiser for the year, so please support a walker and our school!
Have a great week and we will check back in next week.

First Week of School
Hello Fellow Yellians,
The first week of school went very well. On Tuesday, Sept. 7th we had our Open House which was very well attended by many 4th and 5th graders. We were all very excited as we came through the doors on the 8th of September. There was an all school assembly to welcome all the staff and students to the Yelle. I have seen many great activities going on in the classrooms, one such activity was discussing osmosis and seeing how water can alter gummi bear shapes. Have a great weekend, remember Picture Day is Sept. 21st.

March - Spring is Almost Here
Hello Yellians,
It is the first week in March and the sun is definately trying to come back again. Last week we had a great time raising money for the "It Takes A Community" fund. The basketball game was on Friday Night and we were happy to share that we raised over $400.00 to donate to the cause. We had another P.J event,where bracets were also sold. We at The Yelle are also now the proud owners of a new School Store, this amazing stand was built by Mr. Winiarz. Thank you Mr. Winiarz, it makes our front lobby look wonderful.
Both grades 4 and 5 are preparing to take the ELA MCAS beginning in march, the full schedule is posted on our web page. Please check out the dates and make sure everyone is well rested, well fed and confident. The students have been working very hard on their open responses and paragraph writing skills.
Have a great week.
