High school basketball today at Oilton. The girls game will start at 1:00. Oilton is limiting capacity. Anyone wanting to attend will need a voucher in order to purchase a ticket for admittance. Vouchers were sent home yesterday with the student-athletes to give to their family members. There are a few leftover vouchers available on a first come first serve basis. Call the high school office for details.
Reminder for tomorrow:
Our Ugly Sweater contest was a hit! We had so many entries and so many great sweaters. It was a close race and even had to re-vote because of a tie. We loved seeing so many participate and everyone looked awesome. Thanks to all who wore a sweater. Here were our winners:
PK-1st: Holly Adams
2nd-3rd: Jackson Kilgore
4th-5th: Kinley Thurman
High school basketball games for tonight have been postponed until Friday afternoon at 1:00 in Oilton.

PAWS-itivity Awards!
Congratulations to both our Junior High Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs for winning 3rd place at the Keystone Tournament.
Ms. Ballard's SEL classes for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade focused on a few things this week: giving, kindness, the Christmas spirit, service and teamwork. Not just the giving of gifts but the giving of time and service to others! They learned life skills and used small motor skills to practice wrapping boxes as a team with no help from teachers. It was a great day of learning!
Students in Mrs. Click's JH reading class are creating board games or newspapers based on the novels they read in class. Project based learning has been an instructional goal for our district this year. It is important for us to incorporate project based learning in our classrooms because it allows a student to demonstrate his or her capabilities while working independently.
A committee of YPS teachers and administrators spent yesterday afternoon analyzing the survey results from parents, students, faculty, and administration. These responses, in addition to student benchmark data and faculty input, will be utilized to set new/revise current school-wide goals. These goals relate to school culture, instructional practices, and curriculum. Thank you to all of you who took the time to complete the surveys in September. You are making a direct impact on our school's future.
Tomorrow morning at 8:30, the sophomores will be taking the Pre-ACT test in the cafeteria. If your child is able to attend, please have them here on time to take the exam. It is a timed exam. Thank you
