Smiles, sunshine, and lots of well-deserved fun! 🏀🎾😄

🎨⚙️ Fun Fridays in 7th Grade Art at Yulee Middle School! ⚙️🎨
Every Friday, our 7th grade art students dive into Fun Friday, where learning comes alive through rotating interactive STEAM stations designed to spark creativity, problem‑solving, and real‑world thinking.
Students explore hands‑on activities such as:
🧩 Art‑based math puzzles
📱 Digital design and tablet drawing
🏗️ Engineering and building challenges
🎨 Painting and collaborative drawing games
🛠️ Creative problem‑solving tasks
Each station focuses on a different STEAM element, Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, giving students meaningful opportunities to apply academic skills through design, innovation, and creativity.
Millage funding helps make these experiences possible by providing materials, technology, and resources that extend learning beyond traditional classroom instruction.
Through these STEAM stations, students aren’t just learning concepts, they’re creating, exploring, and discovering, building the curiosity, teamwork, and critical‑thinking skills that prepare them for the future.
We’re proud of the innovation happening at Yulee Middle School! 🐝💛

🎶✨ YMS Band Spotlight! ✨🎶
We are so proud of our YMS Band Program! Our pep band and jazz band are made up of talented 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who bring energy, heart, and incredible music to our school.
Led by our amazing band director, Mr. Andy Shepard, these students work hard, cheer loud, and play even louder! Whether they’re hyping up a game or setting the mood with jazz, they always represent YMS with pride.
And let’s be honest… Mr. Shepard might just be the best band director in the world.
(Okay… we might be a little biased. 😉)
Huge shoutout to our students for their dedication, to Mr. Shepard for inspiring them every day, and to the One Mill that allowed us to revamp our cafeteria sound system so we could properly hear these awesome performances. Keep making music, Hornets! 🎺🐝💛

🏡 Dream‑Home Design Project at YMS! 🏗️✨
Last week, Mrs. King challenged her students to design their own dream‑home floor plans after finishing their exploration of the Architecture & Construction career cluster. This hands‑on activity allowed students to apply math, measurement, and design skills in a fun and meaningful way.
Students also had the special opportunity to meet LTCD Brittni King, who spoke about her work as a civil engineer and her service in the U.S. Navy. Her visit brought real‑world insight to the classroom and helped students understand how these skills are used in professional engineering careers.💡
Next week, students will bring their plans to life by creating 3D models of their floor designs using Tinkercad. Mrs. King can’t wait to see what they build!

Shining a Light on Creativity in Ms. Perry’s 6th Grade Art Class! 🎨✨
Students in Ms. Perry’s 6th grade art class are hard at work on their value studies, using focused art lamps to observe how highlights, midtones, and deep shadows bring drawings to life. These hands-on lighting setups help students understand how light and shadow work together to create realistic form, an essential skill in visual art.
And don’t miss the clay projects drying on the back shelf! Our young artists have been exploring multiple mediums, from drawing to ceramics, as they build confidence, creativity, and craftsmanship.
A Special Thank You to Nassau County Residents ❤️
Because our community voted YES on the One Mill, our art programs have been able to purchase new tools, including brand-new kilns that allow students to create, fire, and finish their own clay pieces right here on campus. These millage funds also support materials like art lamps, clay, tools, and classroom supplies that make hands‑on learning possible every day.
We are incredibly grateful for your continued support of arts education. Your investment helps keep creativity alive in our classrooms!
📸 Stay tuned—photos of our students’ kiln-fired clay masterpieces are coming soon!

🔖 Ticket sales begin: March 10 during lunch
Tickets are likely to sell out quickly, so students should grab theirs early! If a student is absent on March 10, families may contact Principal’s Secretary Mrs. Ashley Kirsopp at KirsoppA@nassau.k12.fl.us to reserve a ticket.
Eligibility Reminder:
Students must have no infractions, no technology balance, and no cafeteria balance for Quarter 3. Attendance must be 90% or higher as of March 10.
Students may complete “detention redemption” (one detention only) through after‑school work service with administrative approval. Please contact the Front Desk for details.
We can’t wait to celebrate with our Hornets! 💛🖤
