Dear Young Families,
This past Monday, the Second Grade Teamhosted the 2nd Grade PE Night with Mr. Maldonado. The students and their parents had a great time participating in a variety of fitness activities. In addition, on Tuesday, Mr. Pape presented great information about the Young music program to our parents in attendance at the October PTA meeting.
I hope that everyone enjoys the extended weekend.
Happy Fall.
Ms. Morgan

Artsonia
NYE now belongs to the World’s Largest Art Gallery, Artsonia. Take a moment to look at the following website to see samples of artwork completed at Young this school year. http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=68726
Artsonia permission slips were distributed to parents at Curriculum Night in September, and many of you have taken to time to register online and are now viewing your child’s artwork on the site. Relatives who live in other states or countries have the ability to see your child’s creative side. For those who have signed up, thank you! For those who have yet to sign up, new permission slips are going home this weekend. If you are interested in participating, you will sign up online. The information is on the Artsonia permission slip. You do not need to send the permission slip back to school. Please email Mrs. Heller with any questions that youmay have about Artsonia.
Thank you for participating.
Mrs. Heller
Art Teacher
