How Does R. L. Young Reward the TOP SELLER...

Make her PRINCIPAL OF THE DAY!  Read below Alyssa Lee's rendition of a very busy day at R. L. Young:

Me Being Principal of the Day!

Today I was principal. It was fun! First I went to my classroom. Mrs. Lamberth said, "Right away when you get unpacked go to Mrs. Thomas' office". so I got unpacked and went to her office. I got ready and we said the pledge. Then I was on! I was so nervous. So I said the morning announcements and I got a lot of compliments. After that I stayed in Mrs. Thomas' office. I went to get my work from class. I worked on my work while Mrs. Thomas talked. I finished my work and we did some things for her like getting all of the Good Citizen certificates ready for the luncheon. We set up the Hardwork Cafe for the Good Citizens. I ate with the Good Citizens. K-3 was first and then it was 4-6.

After the luncheon I talked to a student about their behavior. Then we went to talk to Coach about something that happened yesterday. After that I made a surprize phonecall to my mom. I talked at the Talent Show before it started. I reminded students not to judge the contestants.

My day finished with the making of the afternoon announcements. Then I went home. And that's my day!

She did a wonderful job. A very wise young lady who didn't miss a beat with every task thrown her way! I am thinking she has "educator" in her future because she is such a natural! The school thanks Alyssa Lee L. for her efforts to help the school raise funds!

Wonderful 2013 TALENT SHOW!

                                  

AR Reading and YUMMY Donuts with the Principal

R. L. Young wants our students to enjoy reading. We also want young readers to comprehend what they read. So with a program called Accelerated Reader, we achieve both. Children choose books according to their interest and independent reading ability. After reading each book, they take a quick quiz to determine if they understand what was read. There is INSTANT feedback for the child with a score and points. The beauty of this program is that it supports what the teacher is doing in the classroom. As children learn to read, they can apply reading strategies being taught. This applying of skills increases their success, as practice does to playing a sport.

The scores and points are recorded and reports can be printed for parents and teachers. 

The prize we have in place for reaching 75 points is a DONUT PARTY with the Principal. The pictures below feature students from party #3 (our largest party ever). We hope they enjoyed their donuts, but more importantly we know they are progressing in their ability to read and comprehend. 

*A special thanks to our wonderful PTO for supplying the $ for OMG Donuts and all AR prizes!

Talladega City School Foundation Dinner

R. L. Young's Coach Stephens, along with Salter School's Coach Darby and Zora Ellis' Coach Ward served as presenters at the recent Foundation Dinner on May 9th. Their topic was the schools' archery programs. Also featured was the top shooter from each school. Charisma McKinney represented Young and gave an impressive live demonstration. Among the night's grant winners was our very own fourth grade teacher Roxanne Lamberth. She  was the only candidate to receive 2 grant awards. 

Congratulations to all of these folks...YOU make R. L. Young look so GOOD! We are proud of you!
