Principal's Message
Good Evening Yowell Families,
On Tuesday our students will be bringing home their first quarter report cards. Be sure to look for them in the Tuesday folder. You can keep the report card, sign the envelope, and return the envelope.
We are canceling our planned Trunk or Treat at Yowell due to a lack of interest in setting up a trunk. Thank you to the families that stated they would participate. We will look forward to the next opportunity to make memories with our families.
This Friday will be our first SCA spirit day! The representatives would like to host pumpkins (orange) vs. bats (black). Break out your orange and black and decide if you are team pumpkin or bat!!
This year our theme at Yowell is Bee the Change. Local printer KASH Imprints is hosting a Bee the Change apparel sale that will remain open until November 6th. All orders will be fulfilled around Thanksgiving.
Remember to check out our weekly newsletter with all the links, flyers, resource days and so much more.

Get creative with the Virginia Lottery’s annual Thank a Teacher Art Contest!
Each year, we encourage students, parents and the general public to send thank-you notes to Virginia’s deserving public school teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Week in May. For the last six years, these thank-you notes have featured winning artwork by three Virginia public-school students.
Virginia’s teachers deserve our thanks and we’re once again calling on K-12 public school students to submit custom artwork for the seventh annual Thank a Teacher Art Contest!
The Art Contest is open to Virginia K-12 public school students, and one top-prize winner will be selected from each level; elementary school, middle school and high school. The three winners will not only get to see their artwork featured on the 2024 notecards, they’ll also receive individual cash prizes and win money and prizes for their school!
If you are able and would like to donate to our musical, please click here to view the musical's Amazon wish list. If you would like to send in a check, please make it out to Yowell Elementary School and put "musical donation" in the memo line. Putting on a musical is very expensive so we appreciate all of the help we can get!
