Good evening, Yake Families,
This is Mr. Podlewski writing to remind all families that we have half-days of school on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, which are the last two days of school. On the last two days of school, our Gators will be dismissed at noon.
If your child has medication in the office, please be sure to come by the school to pick it up by the end of the day on Friday. Any medication not picked up by an adult will be discarded.
Also, please remind your Gator to double-check our lost and found. Any items not picked up by the end of the week will be bagged up and donated.
On Wednesday, all of our Gators will be sent home with report cards. ThinkStretch workbooks will be sent home with families who submitted online requests for them earlier this spring.
I hope that all of our Gators have a great last week of school and a wonderful summer break.
Thank you and have a good night.

Good afternoon,
We are right in the middle of a near perfect day for Field Day. We have some tired Y5-1st grade Gators right now and we will have some soggy 2nd through 4th grade Gators this afternoon. We will try and post videos and pictures to the Yake Facebook Page (click here) throughout the day. Please join me in thanking Mr. Crane for putting on some amazing field days over the years. He definitely helped create lasting memories for our Gators. With that being said, please click on the link below to learn more about our last week of school.

Good Evening,
This is Mr. Podlewski writing to remind our families that we will have a half day of school tomorrow, with a noon dismissal to begin our Memorial Day weekend. We will not have school on Monday, which is Memorial Day.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Every year, on the last Monday in May, Americans observe Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a holiday that commemorates those who have died in battle while serving in the U.S. armed forces.
Memorial Day is for us to remember and honor American Soldiers who have given their lives for our country.
So, though the long weekend is wonderful and I hope our Gators have lots of fun, please take a moment to think about the brave men and women of the armed forces who gave their lives in defense of our country. May the sacrifices they made never be forgotten.
With that said, I will look forward to seeing all of my Gators when they return for a full day of school on Tuesday morning.
Thank you, and have a great evening.
