Message from Mrs. Richardson
Dear York Avenue Families,
Our student council food drive starts on Monday, 12/6. Homeroom student council ambassadors went around on Friday afternoon to drop off class donation boxes and let students know about the food drive. Our theme is "Boxes, bottles, and bags" but of course, we are accepting any and all nonperishable food and personal care items. Please see the flier here.
This coming week, North Penn is celebrating Inclusive Schools Week! We hope that you participate in this celebration with us, as we honor each other for our differences and how they show up in our learning environment. This year's theme is "Rebuilding Our Inclusive Community Together". More info is below.
Home and School is having Dining Night Out @ Wister's Barbecue, 321 W Main St., from 11AM - 8PM on Wednesday, 12/8. Come out to support York Ave.

Counselor's Corner
December is a busy time in the guidance office with holiday preparations underway! Bully prevention lessons are finishing up and small groups are the main focus this month.
Below is a resource from weareteachers.com which helps model positive language with our students. I have found this resource helpful at home and at school and wanted to share with all of you.
As always, please reach out with any questions and concerns.
