WILDCAT WEEKLY
VOLUME 3 ISSUE 13
October 27, 2023
From the Office
We've had another great week here at YMLA! The Dream Team and scholars celebrated Red Ribbon week with themed dress days and guest speakers, and ended the week with our Breast Cancer Awareness Program. Thank you to Dr. Fairest Hill, Michael Weeks, and former NFL player Joe Jackson for taking the time to invest in our scholars and share your experiences. YMLA's Mr. Smith planned and executed another great opportunity to increase breast cancer awareness for our young men and community. Congratulations to Braylen Greer on his receipt of a scholarship in memory of Renae L. Ruffin. Great job scholars!

Water Bottle Man
On Wednesday, October 25th middle school and high school art scholars helped to prepare for the Water Bottle Man sculpture. Check out more about work on the Water Bottle Man sculpture here, https://ftwtoday.6amcity.com/culture/plastic-water-bottle-scultpure-fort-worth-tx .
Bring a camera or a camera phone. We will take pictures, learn techniques in post processing, and create a school-wide webpage of our art. Email for more information!

Self-choice reading is the empowerment of the scholar to find out more about who they are and who they want to be. Choose a book. Read it. Share it. We will have discussions, create book trailers, and share our love of literature with each other.

This webpage is not searchable. You will not find it without the address. Photos of school activities, information about other libraries, access to databases and more. This is your information hotline for the library!
