This week, Mrs. Thornhill’s class explored the fascinating world of spiders! 🕷️ Students learned interesting spider facts using information from books and videos, then used what they learned to create their own spider writing. They also got creative by making spider thumbprint art and enjoyed a tasty spider snack! It was a week full of learning, creativity, and spooky spider fun! 🎃🕸️

🚓🚒🚧⚡ Little Learners, BIG Heroes! ❤️💙

Our kindergarten Stallions had some very special visitors yesterday! We were thrilled to welcome some of our amazing community helpers who took time out of their busy days to teach our youngest learners about the important jobs they do to keep our families and community safe! 🐎

A HUGE thank you to the Police Department, Sheriff's Office, VDOT, Town Light & Power, Salem Fire Department, and Brandy Station Fire Department for sharing your time, knowledge, and experiences with our students!

Not all superheroes wear capes! Some wear badges, helmets, hard hats, and uniforms. ❤️

We are so fortunate to live in a community filled with people who dedicate their lives to helping others. Thank you for not only keeping us safe but also for inspiring the next generation of community heroes!

Our Stallions loved learning from the real-life heroes right in our own backyard! 🚒🚓💙❤️

💕 PINK OUT DAY at Yowell! 💕🎀

Our Stallions were pretty in PINK today as we came together to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💗

From head to toe, our halls were filled with shades of pink, but the message behind it was even more beautiful. Today was about more than wearing a color—it was about spreading hope, showing support, honoring survivors, remembering those we've lost, and standing beside those still fighting. 💪💕

Together, we wear PINK. Together, we stand STRONG! 🎀🐎

🚌❤️💙 Behind Every Safe Ride Is Someone Who Cares! 💙❤️🚌

This week, we celebrate some of the most important people in our school family—our incredible bus drivers and transportation aides!

Long before the first bell rings and well after the final dismissal, these dedicated individuals are hard at work making sure our students arrive safely to school and return home to their families each day.

To our amazing transportation team, THANK YOU! Thank you for the early mornings, the long afternoons, the countless miles, and most importantly, for treating our Stallions like your own.

You are so much more than the people who get our students from place to place. You are an essential part of our school family, and we are incredibly grateful for you! 🐎🚌

Happy Transportation Appreciation Week! ❤️💙

🐝 What's all the BUZZ about in second grade? 🐝

Our ITRTs stopped by all of our second grade classrooms today for some BEE-utiful coding fun with Bee-Bots! 💻🤖

Students flipped over cards and then put their coding skills to the test, programming their Bee-Bots to travel to the correct spot on the board that matched the value on their card.

It was a fun-filled lesson combining math, technology, problem-solving, and a little bit of trial and error! 🧠✨

A big thank you to our ITRTs for bringing hands-on learning and a whole lot of excitement to our second graders! 💛🐝

📚❤️ A Little Writing, A Lot of Kindness! ❤️📚
In Mrs. Beard’s first grade class, being named “Student of the Week” comes with a very special surprise! Throughout the week, classmates write about the featured student, sharing kind words and what makes their friend so special. Their writing is then collected into a one-of-a-kind class book for the student to treasure! 🥰
Not only is this a wonderful way to practice writing skills, but it’s also a heartwarming lesson in friendship, kindness, and the power of making others feel valued. What a beautiful way to celebrate one another! 💕
