On Sunday, May 10, 2020, staff members at L.B Yancey Elementary School came together for a car parade through areas of the school neighborhood. The goal was to appreciate parents and students for their positivity, flexibility and resiliency during these trying times.
Parents were given a rose and candy, while students were given materials to make a Mother’s Day gift along with other items.
Our families have been committed to the new learning format and we wanted to say thank you for your support throughout this process. Teachers were excited to see students and encouraged them to keep working hard. It was an evening of community and camaraderie.
