Teacher Appreciation Week is NEXT WEEK!
We are planning to feature our amazing teachers and administrators on our social media platforms next week, and we need your help! We’d like to create a series of posts on TWITTER or FACEBOOK or INSTAGRAM that include something around “why our YCS teachers are so great”.
Please connect with your class parents for this initiative and we can show the teachers our love and support next week!
May is Literacy Month!
Be on the lookout soon for information about our upcoming Spring Book Fair and Read-A-Thon, both happening this May. If you’re able to volunteer for these fun events, please contact this year’s Book Fair Chair, Kathy Kasprak-Fraser at kathykasprak@aol.com.
