What is YANA?
The idea for a Driver YANA Club was created by a Driver student named Hailey Baker in Fall of 2019 (Hailey is currently a Junior at WCHS!). She wanted there to be a club for students who feel like they don't have another place where they fit in sometimes. The goal of the club is to build relationships and help others know that they are not alone, no matter what they are going through in life. Sometimes we have more serious discussions on topics related to mental health and other times we do a laid back meeting and play games, etc.

Who can join?
Any DMS 6-8th grade students are welcome to join YANA.
 
Where and when does YANA meet?
The DMS YANA Club always starts in October, after Fall Break. YANA Club normally meets every other Thursday afternoon in room D5 from 3:30-4:30pm. Please listen to the morning announcements for updates and special events. Our first official meeting of the year is going to be Thursday, 10/19/23. 

Why should I join YANA?
This club is full of people that work to spread joy to others. We did activities last year such as making cards for veterans, teaming up with Science club to make ornaments, helping make tie blankets for a service project, and giving a kindness card to every student and teacher at DMS! We also have had a lot of fun playing team building games, making slime or fidget items, and having snacks/holiday celebrations.
