It's time for the 7th Annual Duck Race to benefit the Springdale Education Foundation! We set a goal to sell 15 ducks for the race. Earmark your duck for a specific classroom or Young Elementary. If our duck wins the race, we win $1000 to use during the year. Ducks are $10 each! To find out more about how the Springdale Education Foundation supports our teachers and schools and to purchase a duck, please visit spsef.org/duckrace . You can also Venmo --SPS Ed. Foundation-- and put a teacher name or Young Elementary in the notes. #spsefduckrace

Just a reminder that student chromebook insurance is only available the beginning of the school year. Every student has a device and insurance is only $20. If a screen or keyboard gets broken by the student, it reduces the fee from $60 to only $10.

Wow! We have the best staff at Bernice Young Elementary. It is going to be a fantastic school year! What was your favorite thing about open house?

August Lunch Menu Kindergarteners will get one lunch choice during the first month of school while they learn the routines and procedures. Teachers will notify you which choice it will be.

Meet Mrs. Mitchell! She is our new kindergarten teacher! We are very excited to add her to our amazing kindergarten team.

Lots of information for upcoming events. Teacher letters will arrive within the first few days of August. Open house is a time to meet your teacher, bring supplies, join PTA, buy a school shirt, find bus route information, and enjoy a snow cone.
