A Message from the Principal

Dear Yasuhara Community,

Welcome to Fall! October was a wonderful month at Yasuhara. Our student athletes made great strides and had some awesome wins! We also just had our first school dance of the year. It was so much fun celebrating all of the great choices our students have made.

Thanks to everyone's diligence in getting your children to school on time. We appreciate your support to ensure each child is learning every day.

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and we're grateful for so many things, including some incredibly generous community partners who are providing turkey dinners for families in need. If you're interested in this support or have any other needs, please reach out to our counseling team. The Yasuhara staff are always here to help. It's going to be a great month!

Sincerely,

Stephanie Lundberg

Building Bridges

6th graders in Ms. Pearce's Career Exploratory classes studied civil engineering by building bridges in class. They got to test their skills by making sure their structures were secure and able to support themselves.

Phenomenon in Science

Why do we sometimes see different things when looking at the same object? Students in Ms. Given's class used boxes to view and explore this phenomenon.

Making Memories:

Pep Assembly

Students celebrated their first Pep Assembly of the year. They had a blast generating some school spirit. Go Phoenixes!

Screenagers:

Growing Up in the Digital Age

Screening at North Central High School

Screenagers is the first feature documentary that explores the impact of screen technology on kids and offers parents and families proven solutions that work.
