This week, the 6x (4x defending) State Champion Woodhaven Theatre Company will present "Our Town" on November 5-7 at 7pm in the WHS Auditorium. Please join us for an evening of theater geared towards Gators ages 8 and older.
Yake is well represented with Brandon Dinu (attended Yake in Y5) as George Gibbs, Conor Hatfield as Mr. Webb, Kierstyn Brock as Mrs. Webb, Chloe Gurganus as Rebecca Gibbs, Sophia Smith as Si Crowell, & Kara Binge as Sam Craig. Lily Hool & Cam Tevepaugh are members of the Ensemble. Abigail Counts is on Props + Costumes, Emily Enciso is on Lighting. The show is directed by former Yake dad, Watch D.O.G., & 4x Michigan Theatre Teacher of the Year, Michael Clemons. Mr. Clemons never wants to share the WTC accolades, but he and his students work hard every year and the awards are well deserved.
He also wants families to save the date for "Peter Pan Goes Wrong" from November 19, 20 & 21!

Good Evening,
This is Mr. Podlewski writing to remind all of my Yake families that we will not have school tomorrow due to Election Day. Children learn the importance of voting by observing their parents, so make sure that they see you vote or see your “I voted” sticker when you get home. Or, if you are like me and already voted, make sure that they know. Let them know just how important it is to exercise the right to vote. I hope that you enjoy your day off with your Gators and have a safe, patient and hopefully positive voting experience.
Thank you for and have a great evening.

🎨 Big imaginations, little artists and a whole lot of creativity!
Woodhaven High School Painting students teamed up with Yake Elementary’s Young 5s and kindergarten students to turn their original monster drawings into colorful works of art. The result? One-of-a-kind creations that celebrate creativity, connection and the power of seeing the world through a child’s eyes!

Good Evening,
This is Mr. Podlewski writing to remind all of my Gators that our Halloween Parade is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning. Our parade will begin with Ms. McMahan’s class in room 1 starting at 9:20 a.m. The route will weave past our classrooms, along our media center, through the cafeteria, down to the gym, through the haunted gymnasium and back to the classrooms. Parents and grandparents will be able to watch the parade in our cafeteria, in the media center, or in the gym. Please be sure to not block the hallways as we need a route for the parade.
At the conclusion of the parade, parents will be asked to head home unless they have pre-determined plans to volunteer in a classroom. Please note that only parent volunteers will be allowed in the classrooms before, during or after the parade.
Please be kind and courteous as we know parking will be packed tomorrow morning. Please be sure to not block entrances and exits with vehicles as that makes departure even more challenging.
Please also note that we have a half-day of school tomorrow with a 12:00 p.m. dismissal. Thank you, and have a great evening.

What a beautiful evening for a run! Approximately 130 boys and girls in grades K–5 laced up their running shoes for the WBSD Elementary Cross Country Championship on Monday, October 19, at Hall Road Park!

🥇 Congratulations to our top finishers!
🏆 Boys Champion: Bryce Hawkins of Yake Elementary, finishing with a time of 7:38.6!
🏆 Girls Champion: Eleanor Dyba of Bates Elementary, finishing with a time of 8:09.7!

Run strong, Warriors! 💜🏃♀️🏃♂️

Good afternoon,
The message below is being shared in the phone message that just went out. I wanted to share it as an email, as well.
Good Afternoon,
This is Mr. Podlewski calling to remind all Yake families about our fundraiser at Buddy’s taking place today. When your Gators walk in the door and ask “What is for dinner?” imagine their faces when you say “Buddy’s Pizza.” In addition to trading cooking and dirty dishes for huge smiles, you will also be helping our PTO since 20% of all sales go back to our PTO. So, mention you are with Yake Elementary School when dining in or ordering carryout. Thank you for joining our PTO for some good food with some great families at Buddy’s Pizza this evening.
Thank you, and have a wonderful evening.
Tim Podlewski

🍂 Once a Gator… Always a Gator! 🐊
The Yake Elementary Fall Festival brought Gators - past and present - together for an afternoon of fun, laughter and community!
From pumpkin decorating and face painting to bounce houses, hayrides and plenty of treats, the annual tradition continues to be a favorite for Yake families. And some of the volunteers helping make the event happen? They’re former Gators who are coming back home to give the next generation the same memories they enjoyed as students.
