And finally, YMS offers to both boys and girls an opportunity to participate in Track and Field in the spring. Current schedules are given to the athletes and will be posted, by season, on this site. Last year marked the first year of our now annual YMS Canned Food Drive. Students and staff, in just four days, brought in over 6,000 food items which went straight to our local food bank.

Students have an opportunity to dance to current hits.
YMS curriculum provides quite a variety of elective classes for our students. Electives are classes that students choose which introduce students to skills outside the typical academic classroom. Offered at YMS are Home and Family Life, Technology, Occupational Versatility, Art, Chorus, and Band. Each year in Physical Education classes students have the opportunity to help the American Heart Association raise money for much needed and valuable research in fighting our nation's number one killer heart disease. After asking for pledges and donations, students spend their entire PE period, during Jump Rope for Heart Day, participating in jumping competitions.
