YISS Rolls Out Red Carpet for 8th Grade Gala

On May 17, teachers and parents helped celebrate the 8th grade class with the annual 8th Grade Gala. The day was busy with preparation as parents transformed the gym into an amazing Oscar Award-themed party. Students were also transformed into beautiful young men and women who were ready to celebrate their accomplishments.

Throughout the evening, everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet while many awards were presented to deserving students. Following the awards presentations, one of the highlights of the evening was the speech given by student speaker, Karl H. Each student was also given a chance to present a rose to their parents and thank them for their support. After much laughter and encouragement, the night concluded with a memories video showcasing their journey over the last three years in middle school.

The 8th grade class holds much potential going forward, and their teachers and families are excited to see what they accomplish. Special thanks to the 8th Grade Gala Committee, PTO, and all the parents who helped make this night amazing! Congratulations Class of 2023! You made it, and we are proud of you!
