Principal's Weekly Update #227

2016 Career Day – Wednesday, November 9th - Yorba Linda PTSA and coordinators, Shannon Paradzick and Nancy Coffman, have planned our 2016 Career Day presentations for next Wednesday morning, November 9th. Students will have the opportunity to visit with community members, 1st responders, doctors, entertainers, and many more professionals from a variety of careers. There will be three – 30 minute sessions for students to attend the career presentations of their choice.

PTSA Student of the Month - PTSA has started Student of the Month this year (last month was first month). This is a very nice way to recognize students in your class and our PTSA works very hard to make sure your students get recognition each month. You should have received this month’s folder in your box earlier this month. It’s due back on Thursday, November 10th. Last month about ½ participated. Let’s beat that this month!!
