Happy New Year!
I pray that all of you have had a great start to 2012! Although it seems that we just began the school year only a few months ago, we have come to the end of our first semester here at YWLCS! Our staff has worked extremely hard to move our students to a new level of student achievement and our girls are demonstrating growth everyday.
As we move into the 3rd quarter/2nd semester, I want to make sure that you are aware of some very important events that will take place this year. We need all parents/families to keep their students encouraged about finishing the year strong.

Often times, when students have a challenging start to the year, they feel they can never make major improvements. We all know that this is not the case. Let’s continue to remind them to make a fresh start, put the past behind them, and look forward to a brighter future!
Thank you for your continuous support. We look forward to continued success this year!
