Yorkshire Elementary Welcomes Students and Parents Back to School

Submitted by Mrs. Kathy Pavoncello

For many, the sweet song of the cicada is a reminder that the summer vacation is nearly over, and school will surely soon begin. At Yorkshire Elementary there are other indications.

Dr. Stoltz welcomed our new kindergarten students during our fun event, Playground, Pals and Popsicles. Children enjoyed a popsicle and met new friends on the playground. Later that evening, our back lawn was filled with Yorkshire students and their families as they were treated to a Disney nature movie, while munching on popcorn and washing it down with water – all generously donated by our wonderful Yorkshire Parent Teacher Organization!

On August 14, Yorkshire was a flurry of activity as our Kindergarten Orientation and Back-to-School Night events helped acclimate students and parents to the upcoming school year. In addition, a special English Language Learners(ELL) session was held this year for our ELL students  and their families. Classroom teachers and paraprofessionals met with new students, and the school nurse provided valuable information. Bus riding students took a test-run on a school bus, and all of our students learned the 4 Bee Rules, sang songs, and celebrated together with new and old friends.
