A Little About Me
I hail from a faraway land
called Tulsa, Oklahoma - you may have heard of it! I am
Native American (Cheyenne
tribe) and was adopted by my two wonderful parents, Steve and Mary Yates. I also
have an older sister, Sarah, who finished Law School
last May. I moved to Wichita
when I received a Community Leaders Scholarship at Newman University
and I am so glad I did! Since then I have served Totus Tuus of Wichita for three summers, DiRT Confirmation
Retreat Team and Project Freedom for four years respectively, and worked at Pure
& Simple Lifestyle, a college mentoring program for abstinence education. I
received the Teacher of Promise award from the Kansas Department of Education in
2010 and feel honored to be called to the profession of teaching. This is my
second year of teaching and I feel blessed to be a part of the St. James
community! |

The students lose recess

behavior. After they earn 10 points Miss Yates brings them a brownie or other
treat. |

Homework: |
Students are to read a
book every night with a parent, an adult, or older sibling and practice the
sight words given at the first parent night.
