Mr. Yeager and Mrs. Barber rewarded some of the 8th-grade English students with a fun day at the bowling alley! These students worked hard to improve test scores and meet reading requirements! Work hard, play hard—JACKET PRIDE! 💜💛
📣 Special Visitor in Kindergarten! 🐝🎶
Coach Rector stopped by Mrs. Unger’s Kindergarten class yesterday to share some fun facts about our beloved mascot and school song! The students had voted on what fun thing to learn about and they voted to learn more about the school!
Did you know?
📅 In 1927, we got our first mascot named Yell’ O Jacket, and our very first school song.
📰 Over time, local newspapers started adding a 'w' to the name, turning it into Yellowjackets—and it stuck!
🎨 Our Yellowjacket mascot has had several different designs over the years. Coach Rector brought a 1948 yearbook to show one of the older designs!
🎵 The school song we sing today is the second one in our history.
Coach Rector has a treasure trove of cool stories and history about our school, and the kids loved learning all about it! 💛🖤
