Two-Hour delay, Wednesday, January 30, 2019: There will be a two-hour delay to the start of school in Yarmouth. Because today would normally be a one-hour late start for the High School, we will begin classes at YHS only one additional hour later than the typical Wednesday schedule (10:00 a.m.). Buses will run two hours later than normal for the morning pick-up. The school day will end at the normal time.
Last Thursday, our Music Department welcomed the UMO men's a cappella group, The Steiners, to YHS. In addition to a concert (and perhaps a serenade), choirs enjoyed the opportunity to workshop on a cappella pieces and have a Q & A time about music at the college level.
Coordinated by Ella Buchanan, over 30 students & community members participated in a RAD women's self defense course at YHS. We hope to make this part of our Health Science curriculum in the future!
