I can't believe we've marked another school year off the calendar! We had a lovely final week, full of love, kindness, and...waffles! The kids really love sharing meals together, so we made delicious waffles, complete with all the trimmings. The mentors exhibited the notion of leadership through service and led the charge in setting everything up, serving their mentees, and even cleaning after the party was over!
We also awarded students in each class with certificates that honor students' unique talents. The scholars voted on awards for the kindest student, class clown, best advice giver, hardest worker, and most improved for each class. I absolutely adore recognizing students who work hard throughout the year and the students are extremely supportive of their peers.
On the last day of school, some of the YESS students showcased their talents in the annual talent show! Kim danced, Makenzie performed a gymnastics routine, and Jasmine and Geyonni sang a beautiful song! Because we didn't have classes that day, the students left little notes and drawings on my white board earlier in the week. I always treasure the students' sweet mementos and will miss this great group of kids over the summer!
