Principal's Message
Good Evening Yowell Families,
As we step into November, I want to pause and tell each of you I am thankful to be the principal of Yowell Elementary. Our school is filled with fantastic students and teachers who are greatly supported by each of you our wonderful parents.
Just a gentle reminder - today was daylight savings time and we turned our clocks back one hour. This week is a bit on the busy side starting with a science show during the day on Monday. There is NO SCHOOL on Tuesday for students, with the remainder of the week having the students back at their desks.
The holidays are approaching. If your family is in NEED of the holiday assistance program or if you or your family would like to DONATE to the holiday assistance program, please click here and complete the forms by November 15, 2023.
Please be sure to check out our weekly newsletter with the lunch menu, resource days, and so much more
I hope you have the best evening.
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!
