Good Evening,
It's hard to believe it's December! This week I observed book clubs, outdoor learning, surpassing Lexia goals, and checking out diverse holiday library books!

Upcoming:
We are starting COVID safe Stem Exploration in our Makerspace room. Please send in toilet paper rolls in the next week! See below for next week's lesson!

This year's Giving Tree is virtual! If you'd like to donate you can sign up here. Donations can be dropped off or sent in your child's backpack next week. Questions? Reach out to our social worker Mia Liebmann-Burba (mliebmann-burba@y115.org)

Thanks to our PTO for our new YGS FOXES shirts! Every Friday will be spirit Fox day!

Happy Weekend,
