YS 9.8.23

Tales from LaGuardia

Thank you for reading our first Yellow Sheet (also known as the Weekly Bulletin) in several years. Over 20 years ago, the school was printing and sending home a Weekly Bulletin that was handed out to students as they left the building on Friday. It used to be printed on white paper until one year, extra money was spent on yellow paper -- so much that the school was able to print "The Yellow Sheet" on yellow paper for several years. By that time, the name "Yellow Sheet" stuck, even when we went digital.

The Yellow Sheet is designed to keep our community up to date, inform everyone of new information, and remind people of various things that we think people should be reminded of.

This year we are trying a new format that is meant to be read on either a phone or tablet (though it can be read on any computer. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.
