This week’s You Rock Award goes to Mrs. Wynn!
•••
Mrs. Wynn received the award this week because she is easily one of the most knowledgeable people in RYS regarding policy, planning, and day-to-day things. She can help and is happy to do so, and she will do so with a smile! No matter the task, Mrs. Wynn is the person to ask if you want it done correctly and promptly. Way to go, Mrs. Wynn! 🤟🏻🎸

This week, The You Rock Award goes to Ms. Maria!
Thank you for your incredible dedication and hard work in supporting our students. Your constant positivity and genuine care make a lasting impact on everyone at Richard Yoakley. You wear many hats—teaching assistant, interpreter, mediator, and advisor—and you wear them all with grace and heart. Your commitment to our ESL students, as well as the entire student body, is truly inspiring. We’re so lucky to have you on our team, and I’m especially grateful for your support during my second block.
Thank you for everything you do—You truly rock!

The “You Rock” Award was given to Mr. Wynd this week for working tirelessly and giving his full attention and care to all those around him. Mr. Wynd is known for his tech-expertise, peaceful demeanor, and kindness. Way to go, Mr. Wynd!🤘🎸

Thank you to Dr. SG for planning and organizing our holiday celebration and Beaver Brook Country Club for providing us with a space and fantastic food.

This week, Ms. Naomi Wilson received the "You Rock" Award 🤘 from Mrs. Biddle. Ms. Wilson relieves Mrs. Biddle every morning for planning period and has developed relationships with all of the transition students. The students look forward to seeing her daily, and one student said that she was his favorite teacher of all time. Mrs. Biddle says, “Ms. Wilson is incredibly important to our staff and students, and we appreciate all you do.”

Congratulations to Mrs. Biddle, our “You Rock” Award recipient for this week! 🎖️🤘Mr. Horton passed this award on to Mrs. Biddle because she is our “resident saint” who always steps up and leads the charge when others are in need.

🏆🎉 CONGRATULATIONS to our 2024 RYS Teacher of the Year, Coach Eaton!
