New Information

November is flying by. We have one more week of learning before a fall break the week of Thanksgiving. We will not have school the week of November 24, 2025. Thank you for partnering with us this school year. We are so blessed to have amazing families at Young Elementary.

Shout out to our Cross Country Team! The girls team placed first in ALL age groups and the boys team placed second in ALL age groups. That is so impressive!


Note: There will be no Chess club on Friday, November 21st.

Note From The PTA 📚 Note From The PTA 📚

The big Color Run winners will be announced at the November assembly. Students that raised $45 received their sonic drinks this past week. If a student was absent and didn't get their sonic drink, they will receive a coupon for Sonic. Correction: Students that get the ice cream party for raising $100 will be rewarded on December 4th. We appreciate all the students that donated to The Color Run so we can complete big projects for the school.


Students brought home an optional Santa Picture opportunity. You can also sign up online at https://bernice-young-elementary-pta.square.site/
