Good Afternoon!
Thank you for joining us for YGS popsicle social yesterday! We can't wait to greet your child for the first day of school next Thursday, August 26th!

As we launch a new 'limitless' school year, BELONGING is a priority. Our mission is that your child feels safe and valued. Thank you for encouraging, listening, and talking with your child at home! Feel free to reach out if we can help ensure a smooth start.

Enjoy your last summer weekend!

Warmly,
Mrs. Lech
