  • Stanton Students Focus on Fantastic Futures

    Posted by Holli Wolcott on 1/25/2021

    Lead by the Stanton CTE teachers during the 2nd quarter, Stanton students focused on careers, workplace skills and interests, and personal values and attitudes through their advisory classes. The culminating project was a Vision Board depicting their personal goals. Students throughout the entire school submitted Vision Boards to share their goals and plans for their futures. Here are just few.

    The fresh produce boxes contained 8-12 different types of produce from local and neighboring state farms. A special thanks to our local farmers; McIlrath Family Farms, Pacific Fresh Produce, and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. We also appreciate the staff support from Crafted Eatery & Single Hill for helping pack the boxes. Thank you for partnering together to provide nutritious local produce for our community!

    The Yakima Schools Foundation handed out student activity kits that shared information on how to practice #SafeCelebrations while having fun over winter break. The kits included coloring pages and mask making supplies. Students and/or parents can comment on any YSD #SafeCelebrations social media post with a picture of their coloring page or mask to be entered to win a prize! Winners will be announced on social media on January 4.
