The Kindergarten Thanksgiving Performance was absolutely adorable. If you missed it, check it out here! If you missed the Veterans Day Assembly, be sure to check it out here! It's that time of year again! Scholars have prepared works of art to participate in our Art To Remember Fundraiser! Whats is Art to Remember? Art To Remember is a company that takes your scholar's art work and places it on products that you can purchase. There are all sorts of fun products like t-shirts, mugs, phone cases and more! How does it work? Easy! You don't have to do anything right now! On Monday, Oct. 12th order forms will be placed in homeroom Teacher's mailboxes. When you receive it, look through all the fun items and pick out something for yourself and loved ones. When will the products come in? Products will be sent to Yates in the first few weeks of December; just in time for the holiday season. The products will come home with your scholar as soon as they arrive at school. Want more information? Visit their website! You can check out their products and prices before you even want to order. Still curious about something specific to Yates? Contact me! You can email me through this website or my school email. It is [email protected]. You can call the school and leave me a message as well. I will return your call as soon as I can. Thanks for your interest in our Fundraiser! :-) Lucas Henry arrived August 13th, 2015 around noon. He was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 21 in. long. He is now almost 2 months old and weighing in at 12 lbs. He can smile, grab your hair, and sleep like a champ!

Kindergartners and 1st graders are working to replicate Kente cloth patterns. They will also make a simpler version of an African mask. 2nd and 3rd graders are using graph paper and grids to create geometrical Kente cloth designs. 4th graders are making foil wall masks and 5th graders are making paper mache bowls. Isn't Mrs. Crist's class so cute with their Kente cloths? |
