Tech Olympics May 20th
Our annual night of fun is quickly approaching (May 20th @ 7pm in the Mainstage Theater). Tech Olympics is a fun filled evening where the Techies compete for prizes and $. Events like Knot Tying, Costume Quick Change, and Basic Wiring challenge our kids to show what they have learned. Students: sign ups will be posted May 1st! Also, as an exclusive for YPAS Techies...we have a LOCK IN following Tech Olympics. At 10 pm we lock the doors and party the night away! We ask that parents pick up their techies by 8:30 am on Saturday morning.
WE NEED YOUR (parents) HELP! Each year we ask for donation of gift cards, theater tickets, cash.. to give to our students for prizes. Some items that made great prizes last year were gift cards (Target, Starbucks, itunes, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, etc.) and cash (*for Amy to purchase gift cards :)) We are looking for 13 prize packages (of about $20 each) If you can help, in any way, please contact Amy (amy.berry@jefferson.kyschools.us; 485-8355)
Even if you can’t help out before the event, we are hoping you can still support us with your attendance. Last year we had some great cheering sections (some with signs!—which the kids loved!). Everyone is welcome (it’s free!), bring your family and friends to support the kids!!

All Department Lab Dates
In order to facilitate the renovations happening this summer, we will be packing up the Tech spaces on 5/5, 9, 10, and 11. These are mandatory lab dated and will be from 2:30-5:30 each day.
A reminder, if a student does not have lab they are to ride home on the bus. Parents please check the calendar to ensure your student needs to be here (we have been having some major issues from our students hanging around). If they are tutoring they must be picked up at MANUAL. D&P students should not be in the YPAS building when there is not lab or without permission/ supervision by a YPAS teacher. Thanks for your help!
