🦃Thanksgiving Book Feast Fun! 🦃
Y-S Elementary students enjoyed a “Thanksgiving Book Feast” this week. Instead of turkey and pie, they “tasted” a variety of new books—- sampling genres, exploring new titles, and discovering stories they may not have picked up on their own! The biggest lesson of the week—— Don’t judge a book by its cover! ✨

We will see students again on Monday, December 1!

📣 Attention Yellville-Summit High School Parents & Guardians!
Important information about Arkansas Act 724 and the new suite of assessments available to Arkansas high school students will be sent home with students in grades 9-11 today.
These new assessment options are part of Arkansas’s commitment to supporting students as they plan for college, career, or military pathways. Since these changes take effect this school year, we are working quickly to ensure students and families have the information they need.
🗓️ What’s Happening Next?
December 2nd–5th:
Students in grades 9-11 will learn about their new assessment options during school. They will receive guidance on assessments such as ACT/SAT, CLT, WorkKeys, and ASVAB helping them choose what best supports their post-secondary goals.
December 5th:
Students will complete a survey with their parents/guardians to select their testing choices for this school year.
➡️ This survey will be posted in each student’s Graduation Class Google Classroom.
📌 Please check your student’s Google Classroom on December 5th and complete the survey together.
We understand this is a quick turnaround, and we appreciate your flexibility as we work to provide these new opportunities as quickly as possible under state requirements.
Thank you for supporting our Panthers and their future success!

8th grader, Calista Greene!
She read 294,786 words last week! Just since the middle of October, the middle school has read 18,167,890 words!

This week our 5th and 6th grade students are pulling up a chair to a Book Feast and will get a “taste” of stories they might not normally choose. From adventure to historical fiction to novels in verse, they will sample it all and share their ratings—no leftovers here! 😉
To top it off, everyone enjoys a sweet after-dinner mint on their way out.
So proud of these readers for trying something new! 🧡📖





The P.A.Y.S. Coalition sponsored the planting of red tulip bulbs for a Red Ribbon Week Activity. Ms Quinn's Advanced/Plant Science class planted these for a Spring reminder of our collective promise to be kind to our minds.





Fun Friday for Preschool - Ms. Trisha and one of her students having fun riding bikes! ☀️

Our 1,000,000 word student last week won Word Wizard this week! Congrats to James Paxton!
Also, a big shout out to Mrs. Buel for top staff reader! Yep, the staff are competing too!
Way to go, Panthers!

Reminder!

The Arvest Tournament hosted by Flippin School District starts Saturday! Catch our girls at 1:00 PM in the new gym and our boys at 2:30 PM in the old gym.
