🦅Honoring Our Heroes: Veterans Day Across Our District

🌟Veterans Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a vital opportunity to teach our youth about courage, selflessness, and citizenship.
Across our district, our teachers and staff are dedicated to ensuring students understand the true meaning of Veterans Day: honoring the brave men and women who answered the call to serve and protect our freedoms.
By hearing stories, honoring local service members, and learning about the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, our students learn the value of duty and gratitude firsthand.

Dear Yearling Families,

At approximately 8:30 a.m. today, Yearling Middle School initiated a shelter-in-place out of an abundance of caution due to a potential concern in the surrounding area. Please know that this was not a direct threat to Yearling Middle School.

Our students and staff did an amazing job remaining calm and following all safety procedures. All normal school activities have now resumed.

The safety of our students and staff will always be our highest priority. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation, patience, and understanding.

Today, our front lawn was transform into a powerful memorial as Pod 700 placed 2,977 American flags in front of the school to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Each flag represents a life lost on that day. As a community may we reflect and honor those lives to ensure we never forget. Students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white and blue tomorrow, Friday , September 11.
