December 18th Parent Message
As we prepare for the December vacation, I would like to take a moment to recognize the spirit of giving that is part of the fabric at YHS and our community. Not only have our students participated in arranging for Thanksgiving meals or gifts for Yarmouth families the past few weeks, their efforts have been matched by benefactors in our community who do so much to offer a helping hand to those in need.
This includes the Clothing Drive spearheaded by our Global Action students. To date, three full carloads have been delivered to those in need of winter clothing, and we would like to once again recognize the generosity of our community and realize the huge difference the clothing, boots, and hats will make in the lives of the recipients.
We so often take time to recognize the pursuit of excellence inherent in Yarmouth academics, theater, music, athletics (as well as a host of other activities). It is just as important to celebrate our core value of compassion, especially this time of year.
Laptop collection - There is no homework is assigned over break, making this a good time to "unplug," relax, and enjoy the holidays. We will collect laptops from students in grades 9, 10 and 11 over the December break. . All Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior computers will be collected on Thursday, December 22nd at the end of Period 5. If a student is leaving early for vacation, he or she needs to let the office and the computer lab know. Seniors may keep their laptops over break to complete applications. Seniors who want to store their laptop at school over break may turn it in directly to the computer lab. If students need to finish projects/work on their computers, the Main Office will be open on Tuesday, December 27th - from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm and Thursday December 29th - from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. Students must sign up here or in the computer lab prior to vacation if they would like to participate.
