Dear Young Families,

Young students have begun their participation in PARCC standardized testing, which replaces the ISAT for 3rd-5th grade students. Students are taking tests on laptops and things are moving along smoothly. Our students and teachers have participated in many learning experiences over the course of the school year to help our students be prepared for this assessment opportunity. Thank you to the PTA for providing our students with testing snacks.

Young staff continue to participate in professional development that focuses on the common core learning standards in ELA and math. We also are talking about effective engagement strategies to help keep students actively participating in the learning process through paired and grouped learning discussions as well as through cooperative learning projects.

We are still collecting names of incoming kindergarten students for the 2015-16 school year. Please contact the school office to pre-register your child for kindergarten.

Dolphin  Dash  2015  Needs  Your  Help!!

The 2015 Dolphin Dash is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 9th, 2015. The Dolphin Dash is a PTA sponsored Fundraiser for Nancy Young. It is our largest fundraiser for the school. Funds raised in the past have gone towards events such as 5th Grade Memory Book, Art Awareness, One Book/One School, Field Day, Family Social Nights/Events, Classroom Parties, and Field Trips for the Classrooms.

This year, we are in need of volunteers to help with the Dolphin Dash. There are numerous opportunities to volunteer before the run and/or during the run. At this time, the PTA does not have the adequate number of volunteers needed to move forward with the planning of the Dolphin Dash. This event has always been a big hit with our students, families, and staff. We are hoping that volunteers will come forward to assist with the Dolphin Dash and once again, we can have a successful run to help our entire school!

Months of planning and work are put into this fundraiser. We have several committees that need to have someone to run them and volunteers to work with the chairperson(s). Please note that volunteer opportunities can occur during as well as outside of the school day.

Our biggest shortfall this year is with the Silent Auction, which raises the most funds from the Dash. This year, we do not have anyone to run the Silent Auction or to be on the committee. We have knowledgeable and experienced past committee members that would be willing to work with and train the new chair/committee members. Chair(s) or Committee Members for the Silent Auction would be involved in soliciting donations from previous sponsors, organizing the donation packages that are received, planning the bid sheets for the day of the race, setting up for the silent auction, and running the silent auction the day of the race. We would be delighted to have anyone help, as there are many of us who have worked with the run for the past years and our children will be leaving Nancy Young. We would like to train new volunteers so that the race can continue to run in the future and continue to raise the money needed for so many important PTA events.

Besides the Silent Auction, there are a number of other committees that need volunteers. Some include Publicity, Sponsorship, and Breakfast.

If you are interested in helping, please contact Jen Weisman, at [email protected].

We look forward to a successful Dolphin Dash!!!

Parents will receive a brief summary sheet about their student’s interview. After the interview, parents and students will have the opportunity to tour the school together. While students are working with teachers, parents will have the opportunity to register for the upcoming school year and talk with our office staff or PTA members about Young Elementary School. If you need to sign up for a time slot, please contact the school office.
