🌟 THANK YOU, YULEE! 🌟
A couple weeks ago, we had an unforgettable night here. Our first STEAM event was a huge success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without every single person who showed up, helped set up and break down, interacted, danced, and participated. You made this event truly special!
A big shout-out to Dr. Burns, our Superintendent, for stopping by to cheer us on—it meant so much to have your support!
As the sun set, looking around campus at families learning together and little kids playing in the courtyard... it reminded us how lucky we are to live in such a community-driven place. One family who just moved from Alaska told us these kinds of events aren’t “normal” where they’re from—and that we should be proud of what we’ve built here. Guess what? We ARE proud!
💛💚 Thank you to everyone who made this possible—especially Ms. Miles-Vranish, Ms. King and Ms. DeMaio!
And to all our amazing exhibitors who brought STEAM to life:
✅ Kings Bay Civil Engineers
✅ Ninety-Nines Women Pilots of Jacksonville
✅ Operation Buzz
✅ Civil Air Patrol, Jacksonville
✅ Turtle Watch
✅ Nassau County Sheriff’s Office
✅ Deputy Griffith and Max
✅ YMS Parent Volunteer Organization (PVO)
✅ Waste Water Management
✅ Nassau County Public Library – FSCJ Location
✅ Career and Technical Education – Nassau County
✅ YMS Career Technical Education
✅ YMS Athletics
✅ YMS Robotics
✅ YMS Circuit Club
✅ YMS Beta Club
✅ YMS Art and Literature Club
✅ YMS VR Club
✅ YMS Conditioning Club
✅ YMS Drama Club
✅ YMS Band
✅ YMS Art
✅ FBLA
🎶 From the Pep Band to the Drama performance, the Cheer event, and even the food trucks—Mr. Softie, Beyond Horizons, and the Hot Dog Truck—every detail made the night special.
💬 It’s Nicer in Nassau! We are proud and thankful for our community.

🌞 Learning Under the Sun! 🌞
Mrs. Wallace’s class took advantage of the beautiful weather and moved their learning outdoors! Students worked in groups to explore Ancient Egyptian inventions we still use today—like bowling, toothpaste, and wigs.
After reading, they discussed their findings and answered guiding questions together. This activity wasn’t just about history—it was also a great way to practice time management and collaboration skills.
📚 Hands-on learning + fresh air = an amazing day at YMS!
