YIELD - A Great Opportunity to Impact the Community
The first YIELD meeting of the year will be held Thursday, October 20. YIELD is open to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors aged 15-18, and it presents participants with the opportunity to teach other teens about safe driving practices.
Why participate?
**Students will practice public speaking skills that will help them throughout the rest of their lives.
**Students can accumulate hours toward the Community Service Graduation Seal.
**Students will receive a recommendation letter from the YIELD leaders.
**The group only meets once a month for two hours, so it won't take up too much time.
**Students will POSITIVELY IMPACT OTHER TEENS IN OUR COMMUNITY!
**Students will develop employability skills that will serve them well in their future careers.
Interested students should contact Deputy Crouch (mcrouch@vbschools.net) BEFORE OCTOBER 20 to learn more.

Proud of these guys for their leadership efforts with VB recycling #BeABlackKnight
