Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2015! We wanted to remind you of some upcoming activities happening right around the corner:

Thursday, January 8th

Chapman University is coming to YLHS to teach a master class and perform works from their latest show. The show and master class are free of charge and will take place during 4th period and lunch (the girls will be excused from their 4th period classes).

Sunday, January 11th *updated*

Dance Company will be performing at CSUF. The show will take place at 6:00pm and girls need to be there in front of the gym by 4:45pm. Parking and entry is free so you are all invited to watch our girls perform along with the CSUF Dance team.

Have a great week!
