On March 16, 2022, the Office of Student Support, Yelm Community Schools and our Community Partners will provide an online event for all ages you won’t want to miss. Below are the panel presentations.
Please join us from 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m to engage in discussion and interact with panel members. All panel discussions will be archived for accessibility after the event.
