❤️ Seeing RED for Dyslexia Awareness Day! ❤️

Today, our Stallions rocked their RED to show support for Dyslexia Awareness Day! ❤️

Dyslexia doesn't define a person's intelligence, creativity, or potential. Every learner has unique strengths, and every mind deserves to shine! 🌟

We're proud to stand together to spread awareness, celebrate differences, and remind our students that there is no one-size-fits-all way to learn!

❤️ A special month to recognize our amazing principal? We'll take it! But around here, we're grateful for Mrs. Fiscus every single day!

Her leadership, dedication, and genuine love for our students and staff make Yowell such a special place to be. We are beyond lucky to have someone who leads with her heart and makes a difference every single day.

Happy National Principals Month, Mrs. Fiscus! Our Stallion family sure hit the jackpot with you! 🐎❤️

4th Grade Artists Spotlight! 🎨
In art class our 4th graders are learning about contemporary artist Sandra Silberzweig, whose synesthesia causes her to experience the world in a unique and colorful way. 🌈✨ We’re using her vibrant artwork as inspiration as students create their own abstract self-portraits, exploring color, pattern, and imagination to show the world through their eyes! 💜💙💛🧡

Snack time turned into science time! 🍫🧁

Students in Miss Marple’s class got hands-on with plate tectonics last week using graham crackers and frosting! From divergent ridges to mountain-building convergent boundaries and sliding transform faults, they modeled how Earth’s crust moves—and then showed off their favorite boundary.

Who knew learning earth science could taste this good? 🌎✨

🐻🧊 Operation: Free the Bears! 🧊🐻
Mrs. Frack’s preschoolers had a bear-y exciting challenge during Discovery Time with Miss Jenkins! Their tiny bears were trapped inside frozen ice cubes, and it was up to our little scientists to set them free. Using droppers filled with warm water, students patiently dripped, observed, and experimented until their bears finally escaped! 💧🔬
The discoveries didn’t stop there—some students even noticed the little “fossil” impressions left behind in the ice after their bears were freed. 🐾🧊
Hands-on science + problem solving + a whole lot of fun = another great day of Discovery Time! 💙🐴

Proof that our Dean of Students, Mr. Conville, takes his job very seriously—especially when it comes to a high-stakes game of Duck, Duck, Goose with our kindergartners. 🦆🦆🪿

Sometimes the best part of the day is stepping away from the desk, letting go of the adult to-do list, and just getting out there to play. Big smiles, fast laps, and absolute chaos in the best way possible.

Never grow up too fast, folks. Take a page out of Mr. Conville’s book today and make some time to just have fun! ✨

Welcome back to school, YES family! Our school is participating in Box Tops for Education, which means that you can earn cash for our school on products you already buy to help YES get the supplies it needs. Our goal is to start earning money through Box Tops. Here’s how you can help:

Download the Box Tops app on your phone and follow instructions on how to set up an account and sign up to support our school.

Shop as you normally would — choose from hundreds of participating products that you probably already buy!

Use the app to snap a photo of your receipt or submit a digital receipt within 14 days of purchase. The app will identify any Box Tops participating products and credit them to our school. You can also connect your Box Tops and Walmart accounts. Once your accounts are connected, your school will get credit for any Box Tops products you buy at Walmart when you pay with the saved payment method in your Walmart wallet.

Twice a year, our school will get a check! Help us give students what they need to succeed. Let’s see how much we can earn!
