Dollars for Scholars Auction
The Annual Yelm Dollars for Scholars Auction is going virtual!

Bidding for the silent auction will begin March 5 and close at 5 p.m. March 12. Live auction items will open for bid at 5 p.m. March 12 and close item by item during the live program, which will be streamed live on YouTube and hosted on the auction website, beginning at 7 p.m. March 13.

YCS Moves to Digital Flyers
Yelm Community Schools will transition to digital flyers, using Peachjar, beginning January 15. Peachjar will help us better connect parents, students and the community at large to events, activities, and resources available in the greater Yelm area while reducing the distribution of paper materials.
Community organizations can upload flyers into Peachjar by creating an account and parents will receive flyers regarding school and community resources through email. Flyers will also be available at any time on the Yelm Community Schools digital flyer board.
Organizations promoting a free event can post flyers for free, and flyers promoting paid events will cost $25 per school. PTAs, PTOs, Boosters, and other school affiliated organizations can post flyers promoting paid and free events at no cost. All rates and fees are set and collected by Peachjar.

Volunteers will be asked about their career, education, training, and engage in a discussion with students about what they can do today to help prepare them for tomorrow.
