Hello To All Yellians,
This week was a short week here at school, with Monday being a holiday we had only 4 days to fit in 5 days of work. The students and staff are all very concerned about the people of Haiti, we want to help all of them. We decided as a school that we would have a P.J. day and raise money to send to The Red Cross for the Haiti Relief Fund. On Tuesday, Jan.26th we will be having our P.J day with breakfast for lunch. We will also sell beads, all of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross. Our Helping Hands group met on Thursday and they are also trying to help The victims of the Earth Quake. The students in this afterschool group made posters advertising our P.J. Day and posters for the Soles for Souls project that the district is participating in this month. A few of the students wrote letters to the volunteers who are helping over in Haiti, we want them to know we appreciate all that they are doing.
On Friday the PTO presented a Laser Show for the students, it was amazing to see and hear a show that involved all of the students and staff. Friday evening there was a second Laser Show and Pizza Dinner hosted by the PTO. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who made these events possible.
We are getting closer to March that means spring and MCAS are right around the corner. Please remember to have the students do their MCAS ELA homework packets and explain to you how they got the answers. You will be impressed with the skills that we have been learning and sharpening to become strong readers.
Have a wonderful weekend, we will talk again next week.
