Hey Parents,

We missed you at the Parent Advisory Board meeting last week.  If you are interested in joining us, please sign up at the Open House/College Fair on Saturday, November 10.  We look forward to seeing you there! 

Join us at the Taylor Community Science Resource Center for an evening of education and fun for all ages. A speaker from the St. Louis Audubon Society will discuss the beauty and mystery of bats. All participants will build bat houses to take home. Please call Juanita @(314) 286-4624 to register. Free to all!

Please join us this Saturday from 12-3 at the Taylor Building for a dual Family Event sure to benefit everyone!  From 12-1, families of YES teens and Youth Volunteers will have an opportunity to meet, mingle, tour, and receive valuable information regarding the youth opportunities here at the Taylor Building.  Following the Open House, parents and teens are invited to participate in our College Fair from 1-3.  Representatives from various colleges, universities, and banks will be available to address the many questions and concerns families have regarding "going to (and staying) in college." 

Missy here!  I am so excited because parents will soon blog to teens, staff, and each other...yayayaya!!!

Last Saturday proved to be, once again, a fantastic meeting for YPP.  With each meeting comes a variety of fabulous ideas and initiatives that push the YES program to higher heights.  This meeting, we discussed potential destinations for a Family Field Night this summer.  Diane Miller, Senior VP of Education Programs and Partnerships and founder of YES described trips to the Muny and the Black Rep as "life changing experiences" for YES teens.  We also covered the Personal and Professional Agenda YES teens will take part in this summer, as well as a potential Nutrition Workshop series for YES parents, including a cooking class and tour of Whole Foods!  Details to come on all of the above.  Want to become an active voice of the YES program?  Come to our next YPP meeting Saturday, July 14th from 10-11:30am.  All are welcome!  Thanks to those parents who attended this Saturday.  Without your voice, the YES program would surely remain a silent success rather than a loud celebration!
