R. L. Young SING-A-LONG

Today the school gathered into our beloved auditorium for a good ole' fashioned sing-a-long...a tradition at R. L. Young. Mrs. Nunn and Mrs. Wilson led the singing while a special guest pianist, Lou Ann Allen accompanied us on the piano. Dr. Buck was on hand to charm us with his beautiful flute playing.

There were funny songs, quiet, soft songs, a student solo (thanks, Mi'Asia B.) and even a song sung by faculty and staff members as a special gift to the children (I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas). You can listen by clicking here.

The most important thing to me was that before the rush of the busy holidays, we were able to spend an hour together enjoying friendships. This is what Christmas is all about!
Merry Christmas R. L. Young. Thank you for my beautiful card with all of your names signed. It is a joy to be with you every day. Great things are in store for our school in 2010!

A Giving Heart at R. L. Young

R. L. Young students participated in our annual Toys for Tots program in the month of December. As the month progressed, the toys around the main building tree grew. Children would slowly pass the gifts, but they all remained under the tree awaiting their new owners. Each teacher sent a student representative to help load all of the gifts.

On December 15, Mrs. Hurst from First Family Services made two trips to their office carrying all of the wonderful toys. These toys will be sorted and assigned to various needy families in Talladega County.

First Family Services expressed their gratitude for the giving hearts at R. L. Young. We are delighted with your generous support in our service project efforts. You are helping the children develop a concern for others.
