Principal's Message
Good Evening Yowell Families,
This is Mrs. Fiscus with your weekly update. I hope you are wrapping up a fantastic weekend. The weather was perfect for getting out to rake and play in the leaves! No matter what you did, I hope it made your family happy. Many students have asked if they can wear their costumes to school on Tuesday and the answer is YES! We ask that the students manipulate their own costumes to use the restroom and no masks or accessories. All costumes must be school-appropriate and not scary. We are a preK-5 school and students will see each other on the bus and in the hallways.
Picture retakes will be on Wednesday, November 1st. If your child was absent on picture day or is a new student since our fall picture day we will have their picture taken for the yearbook at minimum. You are welcome to order pictures on make-up day on Wednesday. Use this link to order pictures and use the code 0038897AR. If you ordered fall pictures they were sent home in your child's bookbag on Friday.
Our Yowell "Bee the Change" apparel sale is open until November 6th.
I hope you have the best week and create memories with your family.
Mrs. Fiscus

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!
