We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the patience of our staff, families, and YPS community as we resolve this matter.

Unity Day celebrates and promotes kindness, acceptance, and inclusion to prevent bullying, especially in
schools. It is a national day
of action where people wear and share the color orange to send a united message that no one should feel alone and that everyone should be treated with respect.


Next week we will be hosting two spirit days.
Wednesday, October 15th dress up to represent the vibrant cultures of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Friday, October 17th wear anything pink to support breast cancer awareness.
We hope everyone participates in these two great events.
