It is important that parents understand all that the PTA provides for YMS, and with that understanding, maybe membership will improve. Past programs have been arranged to be grade-specific or for general middle school audiences. Parents are invited to come to YMS and enjoy some light refreshments while hearing about a topic from the principal or teacher. The topics can be requested by the PTA Board or selected by the school. Parents can ask almost any questions related to the schools program during the Coffee.
Discussions are usually very robust and informative.
Last summer our painting project was completed along with bench making for the front of the school and other projects. Birthday tributes, welcome back treats, and other special occasion events are held throughout the year. It is held each fall to provide students with an opportunity to display artistic abilities. The PTA sponsors the Target drive, which tries to increase Target credit card users identification of YMS as the beneficiary school for their school rebate program. In the winter each year, students are encouraged to gain sponsors for the Math Challenge Test.
