YCS is excited to announce our new STEM program, Grizzly Scholars.
YCS is excited to announce our new STEM program, Grizzly Scholars. On Thursday, November 11, 2021, a White Coat Ceremony was held to induct our brilliant scholars. At the ceremony, the students received a white lab coat and a certificate flown in from space! This night was very special for the students. Family, friends, teachers, principals, YCS board members, and the Superintendent were all in attendance.
Students were chosen based on their interest in STEM subjects. There are twenty 4th grade students in this program—five from each of our elementary schools, Ypsilanti International, Erickson, Estabrook, and Holmes. Students will meet once a month after school from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at Ypsilanti International to participate in STEM activities. This year’s theme is “patriots in space.” Students will also have the chance to obtain their passports for international travel.
This is a pilot program for the first two years. After that, there will be twenty 4th graders added each year. Students will be in this program until they graduate from Ypsilanti Community Schools and then will become mentors to the younger students that join this program.
