Week 35

I wanted to give a special thank you to all the parents and students who helped make the YESS social a great event by donating snacks! On Monday the Mentors got time to work on missing work and finish their social justice projects. On Tuesday we had our end of year celebration for the YESS program at Ranum Middle School.

 The students got donuts and juice and then spent the morning listening to fellow students talk about their experience with YESS.Special shoutout to Mr. Sebastian for giving a speech to over 300 kids about his personal journey!Another special thank you to DR Adcock for speaking at the event. And to all the students who got up to introduce speakers and students. Congratulations to Ms. Alexis and Mr. Andres for winning Mentor and Mentee of the Year!!!





























On Wednesday and Thursday, students presented their social justice projects. The students did an amazing job picking an issue that they thought was important and creating a Google slide presentation. The presentation included a description of the issue, a video that explained the issue, and three ways we as a class could bring light to the issue or help solve the issue. A lot of students chose racism, global warming, bullying, and mental health. On Friday we had a fun Friday and we did our usual and then YESS SOCIAL!! We had a blast and students helped run Volleyball games, Soccer, Football, Basketball, music in the gym and the best snack bar we have had all year! Thank you to all the students who helped!
