Principal's Message
Good Evening Yowell Families,
This week we will finish up the first grading period of the year. I feel like I've blinked and 9 weeks have passed. We DO have school tomorrow, October 9th, but there is no school on Friday, October 13th for a teacher work day.
We want to invite all our Yowell families to register for the CTEC Trailblazer Trot 5k or the Monster Mile. The race is Saturday, October 21st at Cyclone Stadium, starting at 8 AM. The registration is $15 for the mile, and $25 for the 5k T-shirt is included in the registration fee. This race helps to fund scholarships for CTEC students for college or trade school training. Yowell is hoping to have the most participants in the race!

Have the best week!

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!
CCPS is offering drive thru flu shot clinics on Saturday, October 7, and Saturday, October 14 from 9am to 12pm at the CCPS Central Office.
