Back to School Dance Announcement
🎉 We are thrilled that so many Spartans want to participate in school activities! As with all fun events, a great deal of planning and preparation happens behind the scenes. 📝 That's why we have a "cut-off time" to ensure everything is ready for these activities. ⏰
We advertised this dance on all of our social media accounts 📲 and website, posted announcements on Canvas, and included it in Ms. Edwards’s weekly JCampus messages. 📢 Plus, Ms. Edwards reminded everyone of the deadline every day in morning announcements! 🎙️ Students not participating in dance tomorrow should be in regular uniform attire.
If your Spartans couldn’t join us this time, we can’t wait to see them at our next fun school activity!
🎉 Huge congratulations to our **YDMS Teacher of the Year**, Patrick McDade! 🍎 Whether he's teaching ELA 📚, leading the chess club ♟️, or sponsoring the BETA club 🏅, he does it all with excellence and dedication! 🌟 Thank you for everything you do! 🙌 #TeacherOfTheYear #ExcellenceInEducation #ThankYouPatrick #SpartanProud

A Bittersweet Farewell
Today, we say goodbye to our beloved Mrs. Harper, who has been an integral part of the Youree Drive family for the past 13 years. As she embarks on a new chapter at North Caddo High School to pursue her dream of becoming a counselor, we're filled with both sadness and excitement for her.
Mrs. Harper has dedicated countless hours to guiding and supporting our students, helping them achieve their goals and reach their full potential. She will be greatly missed.
We wish Mrs. Harper all the best in her new role and know that she will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of young people. #onceaspartanalwaysaspartan #YoureeDrive
