Graduate Yelm!
March 10, 2021
I Joined Graduate Yelm Because...
I see the value in community involvement, both as an alumnus of Yelm School District and a parent of three. I recognize that we each have differing skill sets and while, I as a financial professional, cannot give my children the exposure to the business world of mechanics, food, or construction, my community can. In turn, I can give other youth exposure to my industry. It is this community connectedness that will build for a stronger future."
— Karen Macomb, Ingrained Bookkeeping

Food insecurity is linked to lower graduations rates nationwide and nearly half of all of Yelm students qualify for for free and reduced lunch. The Rotary continually steps in to break down barriers to graduation and we appreciate the efforts of the Rotary in ensuring every student has their basic needs meet so they can focus on schoolwork, socializing and preparing for a successful future.
