YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Autism Acceptance Month: Our Civil Rights team did an amazing job helping to educate our 4th graders this morning!

Bike Safety Week at YES kicked off this morning with a presentation to our third graders by the Youth Cycle Project. Thank you to Coach Lenora and Coach Tim for sharing bike safety information with our students! YCP will be meeting with all of our students this month.

Yarmouth Schools will have a remote school day today – Tuesday, March 14. Teachers will be providing lessons in digital format this morning and our final student day for the year remains Thursday, June 15.

Thank you to our SHARE Team and Mrs. Moreno for a FANTASTIC Community Meeting this morning! We celebrated Read Across America with a Morning Meeting and a celebration of our books!

Due to the forecast of a day-long snowstorm, Yarmouth Schools will have a Remote Learning Day on Tuesday, February 28. Students should follow the schedules provided by teachers for today's lessons.

We'd like to thank the second grade team for hosting our Community Meeting today! To celebrate the 100th day of school, we aimed to donate 100 pairs of socks to our neighbors in need. Thanks to the dedication of our staff and students, we've exceeded that goal! Mrs. Gautreau shared that in the last 7 years, YES has donated over 5,000 pairs of socks to people who need them in our area.

As part of the Healthy Heart Challenge, YES welcomed the Spindrifters from South Bristol yesterday. This is an incredible group of 4th-8th graders who are expert jump ropers! Our students had a blast watching the performance. Thank you to Ms. Pachuta, for helping to plan this fun event!

Fifth grade students have been learning all about conduction and circuit boards in STEAM this week!

Flannel Friday 2.0 was a big success at YES today! There were lots of participants in this event to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Center.

The Glow Run was a huge success today! Our fifth graders had an opportunity to visit HMS and participate in this PTO sponsored event this morning.

The Silly String battles continue today, as part of our 5th-grade fundraising efforts! We are excited to join HMS for the Glow Run tomorrow!

The YES World of Change fundraiser is in full swing today! These students are making a difference in the areas of housing, education, and food insecurity for others in Maine.

Last week, we celebrated our young musicians with a terrific 4th and 5th grade band, orff ensemble, and chorus concert. We'd like to thank Mrs. Troy and Mrs. Witherell-Stebbins for their dedication and hard work!

Congratulations to Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Landry! We'd also like to thank the YEF for funding this grant that will boost our science programming. We are so excited to see our new microscopes in action!

Update: with rerouting, Bus #8 may only be 5 minutes behind schedule this morning. We encourage riders to be ready at the regular time, and to be patient as we plug this gap in our services. Thank you.

Due to a driver shortage, Yarmouth Bus #8 will be approximately 15 minutes behind schedule during the morning pick-up today (Monday, 12/5). Thank you for your patience.

Fourth graders got to learn some sea shanty songs, listen to music, and learn about life on the sea many years ago!

Our 2nd and 5th grade buddies had an amazing visit today! We are so grateful for our teachers for planning and preparing for this special opportunity.

In STEAM classes, YES fourth graders explored birds in their habitat, learned about migration, discussed threats to birds and possible solutions. One solution to bird collisions was to draw on our windows to break-up the reflection for birds. The Forecaster and the Maine Audubon visited today because they are writing an article about our conservation efforts to save the birds! We'd like to thank Mrs. Colfer for organizing this amazing opportunity for YES students. We are sure that the local birds send their gratitude as well!

Thank you to Erik Street, Director of Public Works, for spending time with our second graders today! They learned about the work this department does to maintain our town. Students also got to check out the equipment that they use!
