Winter Weather and Recess at Young
The cold weather is here. Please note that students go outside for recess everyday unless the temperature drops below 5 degrees including the wind chill.
Please make sure that your children are dressed appropriately for the weather with coat, hat, and gloves.
When there is snow on the ground, students need to wear boots and snow pants to play on the field.

Secret Snowflakes
Young has a “Secret Snowflake” program for Young families that may need assistance during the holiday season. We are asking members of the Nancy Young community to sponsor a “Secret Snowflake” that will include purchasing a $10 gift card to Target.
If you would like to donate a snowflake, complete the permission slip at the following link
http://ipsdweb.ipsd.org/newsfiles/news_101165_1.pdf
Choose a “Secret Snowflake” and drop off the permission slip in the office.
Students or parents can pick up a “Secret Snowflake” during the school day.
Each “Secret Snowflake” has a value of $10. Please feel free to pick up more than one “Secret Snowflake” if your family chooses!
We are asking that the $10 Target gift cards be returned with the “Secret Snowflake” attached, to Young Elementary School, by Thursday, December 6th.
Thank you in advance for helping the Nancy Young Elementary School students and families!
