Saturday, June 11, is Mrs. Yollis' Fiftieth Birthday! Her day was so great she wishes she could turn fifty every day! One thing she discovered about having friends in Australia and New Zealand is that your birthday starts the day before! :-)
Mrs. Yollis was brought to tears with this beautiful surprise birthday video and VoiceThread from her blogging buddies in Mrs. Morris and Miss Jordan's class (2KM and 2KJ), Mr Avery’s class, Mr Salsich’s class and Mrs McKenzie’s class (B4).
This is a special VoiceThread from all of Mrs. Yollis' friends. Students, teachers, and anyone else, please add to the VoiceThread by recording a "Happy Birthday" message!
This special day started out with a
Country on the Green Concert with Mr. B.!
Yee Haw!
 |
| Cowgirls Ranney and Yollis were in attendance! |
 |
| Mr. B. put together a fabulous concert filled with country favorites. |
When Mrs. Yollis' class return to the classroom, they enjoyed a fun birthday song from the fabulous Aussie Blogger, Bianca! Click here to see her birthday wishes and dance along with the fun song! Jaden was inspired by Bianca and created a birthday post too!
So sweet!
So sweet!
Mrs. Yollis was thrilled to receive a beautiful card and a pair of amazing Aboriginal art earrings from her dear friends, Kathleen Morris and Kelly Jordan! Perfect!
 |
| Mrs. Diller surprised the class with some special, hand-made pretzel treats! |
 |
| Mr. Yollis made this beautiful sterling silver pendant for his wife. Notice the five hearts...one for each decade! |
To my thoughtful friends, colleagues,
students, and parents,
you have touched my heart!
I will never forget this beautiful day you gave me!

You deserve an awesome birthday or should I say Blogging Birthday.
I can't stop listening to the Birthday song I got off Youtube.
Thank you for your special message and Greeting.
It was really kind of you.
Like Miss Jordan said the earrings look really beautiful on you.
It is the 12th today that means it is Sunday.

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for putting this birthday post together. Seeing all the action of your special day made me feel like I was almost there.
How fortunate that you got to celebrate your day with a concert. Mr B sure is a terrific teacher.
I could hardly believe my eyes when I read that Mr Yollis made that lovely necklace for you. What a clever husband!
As the others have said, you really deserved a special treat for your birthday and we had fun putting the surprise together!
I hope you are relaxing now after all the celebrations.
Your blogging buddy,
Mrs Morris
PS - I agree with Miss Jordan and Bianca, the earrings are perfect for you and now you can take a little piece of Australian culture with you!

ReplyDeleteTo My Pals,
I can't thank you enough for making my 50th birthday so special. The video and VoiceThread were so precious, and I have watched them many times!
You all made it the best birthday ever, and for that I am grateful!
Yes, Mr. Yollis is a very clever husband! He's made me several pendants to mark different occasions...and I cherish every one. This time...five hearts of love, one for each decade. So sweet!
You are all special people to me, and I value your friendship immensely.
