We didn’t get any pictures, but we want to give a huge THANK YOU to the Pietila family for hosting Young Elementary’s end-of-year staff celebration yesterday at the Classic Club! The food was amazing, the company was even better, and it was a wonderful way to celebrate another great school year together.

The Pietila family has truly been a blessing to Young Elementary—not only in the classroom, but also through their support of so many of our extracurricular activities and school events. We are incredibly thankful for their generosity and continued support of our students and staff.

Here’s to an amazing 2025–2026 school year and to a fun, relaxing summer ahead!

Today we celebrated our amazing 3rd and 4th graders and all of their accomplishments this year! We are so proud of their hard work, growth, and determination. Each student has so much to be proud of, and it was wonderful to recognize their achievements. The future is bright for these students, and we can’t wait to see all they continue to accomplish!

Last night we celebrated our amazing kindergartners and all they have accomplished this year! We recognized their growth, learned what they want to be when they grow up, enjoyed their sweet songs, and proudly watched each student walk across the stage.

Their smiles, confidence, and big dreams remind us that the future is bright. We are so proud of each and every one of them and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the years ahead! 🎓✨
