A big Thank you to Easton Reynolds and Buck Link for making the playground look wonderful with the new mulch.
Thankful for the support of the community for our schools. Every year, the Yates Center Elevator participates in the Zoetis Industy Support Program. This program allows a portion of the money from some of the products we purchase during a specific time frame, to be donated to an FFA chapter of our choice. Our commitment to this program ensures that this money will help our local FFA chapter in the development of the next generation of agricultural leaders for a brighter future for our future farmers and ranchers. This year we were able to donate $455.00 to the Yates Center High School FFA chapter to be used as they see fit.

September 25, 2020 – The official report from county health is showing five active COVID cases in the county. The school district will remain in its yellow phase next week. We did have an active case reported from the high school which has led to a few students needing to quarantine. As always, if any students are exhibiting signs of illness please keep them home until the symptoms subside. With everyone doing their part, we can keep the schools open. Thanks!
