Dear Yennadon Families,

- Yennadon Food Bank Drive, Oct. 24 – Nov. 1 – Our Leadership Team is coordinating, promoting, and requesting donations of non-perishable food items to help people in our community and the Friends in Need Food Bank.

Cards will arrive at the school in early November, and we will notify you through the portal when they are being sent home with students. See the portal message under Forms to place your order.
- Halloween Costumes at School – Each year we get questions about what is allowed and not allowed at school. At Yennadon, we are requesting that students do not bring any costume masks, costume accessories (for example wands, weapons, light sabers), or homemade food items (to share) to school. Please also read the letter to parents from our Superintendent about Halloween costumes and a safe and inclusive Halloween for more information.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lawrance
