Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week gives us many things to be thankful for this week.

The ABC Countdown began this week as the flier that went home indicated. Teacher's favorites are listed here: http://grespto.weebly.com/teacher-favorites--wishlists.html.

The YGS PTO is continuing to plan the Daddy/Daughter Dance scheduled for June 4th; it is open to all Y115 students. The beauties of Yorkville and their special someone are invited to the Boots & Beauties dance event Saturday June 4, 2022 from 6:00 to 8:00pm at Yorkville High School. Tickets are On Sale Now! Get your tickets by visiting https://y115.revtrak.net/gr-boots-and-beauties/ If there is a financial burden preventing a family from attending, please reach out to Mrs. Breyne, Mrs. Countryman, or Mrs. Lickfelt.

Please plan to attend YMS on May 10th between 5:00 - 7:00pm. Families can enter at Door 1 in the front of the building. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child's school counselor, Ms. Monika Sobota (msobota@y115.org) or Assistant Principal, Ms. Meghan Kerr (mkerr@y115.org).

GRES is happy to announce one more Fox Club, starting 5/17, thanks to Mr. McHugh! :) This club will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is open to all 3rd-6th grade students. There will be no transportation provided for this club. Before signing up, please make sure you have arranged for student pickup at 4:30pm. We are looking forward to this opportunity! Please contact Mr. McHugh with questions.

As was mentioned in previous newsletters, we are gearing up to start our new pick-up and drop-off routines later next week. The plan will be shared out with families via email separately from the newsletter and has three priorities: student safety, shorter parent/car wait time, and less congestion in the neighborhood. We appreciate those who have provided feedback throughout the year. Any questions about the plan can be sent to gres@y115.org.
