Barge-Lincoln and Hoover Elementary schools have collaborated with Soccer for Success (SFS) this spring to promote a healthy lifestyle and soccer skill development.  Soccer for Success is the U.S. Soccer's Foundation's innovative youth development program that supports children in urban communities.  The students are coached by four building staff members on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15-4:45 pm.  Covid measures are strictly enforced to provide coaches and players safety such as social distancing and mask-wearing at all times.  Parents are allowed to spectate from their car or outside the fence to prevent social gatherings.  

Barge-Lincoln Elementary opened its doors to 15 transitional kindergarten students on Monday, January 25.  This is Group 5 of the YSD modified hybrid learning (model A/B) plan.  Mrs. Laura Rodriguez, teacher, and Ms. Molly Steward, para-educator, welcomed our first group of students on Monday.  Half of the students attend Monday and Tuesday from 9:30-1:30 and the other half attend Thursday and Friday.  The goal is to educate our students and provide them an opportunity to an early academic start as well as build their social-emotional needs.  

This Thanksgiving season, Maverick Cares donated Thanksgiving meals for 20 of our Yakima School District Families! We are grateful for their generosity and thoughtfulness this holiday season. We also want to thank our Yakima Police Department for coordinating this effort. We appreciate you!
