Still feeling the love from our school gala: A Night in the Enchanted Forest ✨ and wow, did our Yu Ying community show up.
Together, we raised more than $174K to support our new teacher salary scale beginning next school year.
YY Community — we did it! The forest may have been enchanted, but our community is the real magic. 💙

Did the blocks around campus feel a little cleaner this week? 🌎
You can thank our Yu Ying Girl Scouts, led by a kindergartener’s idea, for organizing an Earth Day street clean-up. The girls were so proud to care for their community, and we’re grateful to the GS volunteers who joined them!

A first for Yu Ying 💍 Two of our EYC teaching fellows, Haoyu and Ruibo Laoshi of Hippo and Dog Class, just got engaged!
We’ve had couples meet at Yu Ying but a proposal on campus? That’s a first.
Wishing them all the best on this exciting new chapter ❤️
p.s. Still amazed Panda Laoshi kept it a secret (she is too 😄).
