On October 12th students facilitated tables and showcased posters and literature raising awareness about issues, organizations, and volunteer opportunities that students can get involved in. Volunteer Fest is a great opportunity for students and teachers to promote any charities or initiatives that they feel passionately about and share them with the YHS community. Volunteer Fest was started due to high levels of student interest to volunteer in our YHS community and beyond. Some of the opportunities that were showcased included Seniors with Seniors, Special Olympics, Youth Art for Action, Adam’s Apples, Vancouver Food Runners, Best Buddies Canada, and Pedalheads.
Welcome Back BBQ
Thank you to our Parents’ Association as well as to the convenors, Whitney Lewis, Alexa Evans, Kelly May, and Jenny Kusumoto for putting on a terrific Welcome Back BBQ on Friday, September 9 – our first one in three years! Also a special thank you to all the parent and student volunteers who helped make this year’s Welcome BBQ a big success.
It was wonderful to see everyone catching up with old friends and making new ones while celebrating the start of the school year. We are looking forward to a great 2022-23!
