SPOTLIGHTS
KIDS AT HOPE
Southworth Elementary was accepted into the Kids at Hope network of schools. This year all student learned the Kids at Hope Pledge and as a staff they will focus on these factors to support students.
- Children succeed when they are surrounded by adults who believe they can succeed.
- Children succeed when they have meaningful, sustainable relationships with caring adults.
- Children succeed when they can articulate their future.
Every morning Southworth students begin their day in the gym at an all school assembly where the students and staff recite the pledge and begin their day with HOPE.
YHS Theater and Stagecraft Program is excited to present "You Can't Take it with You." This is a comedic play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart which originally premiered on Broadway in 1936.
The performance will be November 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 at 7pm and November 16 matinee at 2pm. Tickets cost $10 for general admission. YHS Students with ASB and Seniors 65+ are $8. We now accepts credit cards in addition to cash.

During Freshman interviews last spring, CTE made a connection with Building Industry of Association of Washington (BIAW). They are the largest trade association in Washington and represent 8,000 companies in the home building industry. After visiting our programs, BIAW wanted to spotlight Yelm and CTE to their members. What a great shout out honoring the opportunities available to students to build their future.
