Students may donate 50 cents to the Tiger Hug Fund, which is a fund dedicated to supporting our own students in need. In exchange, student get their hand stamped and they get to wear their hat of choice that they bring from home.
Thank you for the BIG GIVE!
We are so lucky to house the Family Life Church in our gym on Sundays at 10 am!
Pastor Reeves sat down with Mrs. Dallas in September to explain their BIG GIVE and how they planned to support YCES. The BIG GIVE really gave big! We are super excited to announce that they raised $1,500 for our school! All that money will go toward replacing our classroom document cameras with TVs.
Thank you so much Family Life Church!

Two’s Day Fun in February
Having fun with numbers is a big job for elementary students! On 2-22-2022 YCES will be celebrating with fun math and reading activities. Dress up as a twin with a friend or just wear your YCES spirit gear or school colors orange and black.
Each grade level will be listening to a mathematical folktale in specials and learning about doubling. Parents, if your child asks for an allowance of just a penny and to have the amount doubled each day for a month - don’t fall for this trick! It starts out small on day 1 just one penny, but 2 pennies on day 2, and by day 10 you will be giving them over 500 pennies and by day 30 whew! Check out this calendar math problem from One Grain of Rice, a mathematical folktale by Demi: (see above Calendar for dates).
Check out the Reading Rockets site for this month’s freebie. For fun reading tips, scan the QR code next to this message.
For your own two’s day celebration maybe you could enjoy some double mint gum or twix candy bars. Can you think of any other great two’s day snacks?
I am very grateful to be a part of the learning community here in Yamhill Carlton. We really have awesome students, caring families, and amazing staff.
Thank you and take care! ~Mrs. Dallas
Masking Up Again?
We are now 22 months into flattening the curve. Sometimes it's all we can do to not throw in the towel and just give up. It's tough, it's not fun. But we need to stand strong. This too shall pass...some day.
In an effort to continue fighting the disease during this pandemic, let's be mindful of not what others are doing but more so, what can you do to stop the spread and hope to someday bring and end to this monotony.
Here is an article by Legacy Health that has some good reminders on mask wearing and additional science based data behind the support of continued use.
