Yates Mill PTA Projects and Initiatives

Air Purifiers

The PTA is here to support the Yates Mill community in its efforts to keep our children healthy and learning in school. We have two initiatives that we are currently working on to help achieve these goals:

The PTA purchased 5 Coway Airmega 300 series air purifiers  and 2 additional have been purchased via donation.  We have installed them in the following areas:

• Sick Room
• Media Center (2)
• Art Room 
• Music Room
• Gym (2)

Due to the volume of foot traffic from both staff and students, we felt these 5 spaces would benefit the most from having a unit installed. Our goal as a PTA is to continue the fundraising efforts to install more units in the school. Below are both a PowerPoint and video created by one of our parents at Yates Mill detailing why we feel installing air purifiers may help stop the spread of COVID-19 at our school.​

Outdoor Learning and Eating

Our second project is creating outdoor learning/eating spaces for our students. Having additional seating options outside will help reduce viral transmission and is also just a nice alternative to inside learning. We have made 20 wooden desks and installed them in the little kid play area across from the cafeteria for daily use by the staff. We have also provided a set of blankets that teachers can 'grab and go' with wherever they like.
