YEP: The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) is a middle school group that will meet weekly after school on Tuesdays in Mrs. Duex’s room from 3:15 – 4:45pm. The program has been offered at MMS since spring 2019, and students can also participate online.
The goal of the group is to provide middle school students with drug prevention programming and opportunities to learn new skills like leadership and public speaking while making a positive impact in their communities. A secondary goal is to provide an opportunity for students to have an after-school snack, make new friends, and spend time with old ones in a fun and positive environment.
YEP members have participated in activities like creating flyers and informative videos, practicing skits to perform for elementary audiences and enjoyed group tips to Action City and the bowling alley. Where the group goes next depends on suggestions from our members (and our budget!)
The YEP Staff is looking forward to providing in=-person programming again this fall. If you know a middle school student who would be interested in joining, or have any questions about the program, visit https://yepyepyep.org/.
Core Value Poster Contest: Today is the last day to turn in your core value poster entry to the front office. Next week you can see the entries in the windows of the office before we hold our school-wide vote so be sure to check out the awesome designs!
Student Council: Join Student Council! Student Council is a leadership group for 6th – 8th graders. We meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday at 7am in the library. Application forms are bright orange for new members and are available in the office and in each pod by the white boards. Returning members should pick up a pink sheet from Ms. Yonash. All applications are due today.
