Youtz Intermediate School

Last day of school fun! We love you Youtz students! Have a fun and safe summer.

Still learning in our last week of school! Recycling rubber and silverware and making art is what Bill Starcher does. Thank you for educating our students about art and the process and what fun it can be!

Join us this Wednesday, June 3, at Canton Centennial Plaza for the kickoff of the 2026 We Believe in Canton summer series!

Hosted by the Canton Police Department, this free community event features food, games, giveaways, music, bounce houses, and family fun as we celebrate the start of summer in Canton.

We hope to see you there for a great afternoon downtown. For more information, contact Lt. Coates at [email protected].

☀️ SCHOOL’S OUT. THE Y IS TAKING OVER. 🎮🏀🎨🌊

This summer, the YMCA is creating a space just for youth ages 11–14 at the Eric Snow Family YMCA.

Teen Takeover is built for the in-between age group — too old for camp, too young to just be “out and about” all summer. From 2PM-close Monday–Friday, teens will have a safe place to hang out, stay active, try new things, make friends, and just be themselves.

✨ Included in Teen Takeover:
🏀 Teen-only gym time
🌊 Swim time
🎮 E-Sports & gaming
🧪 Weekly STEM activities
🎨 Arts & creative projects
🌱 Gardening & healthy snacks
🎤 Guest speakers & workshops
🎬 Movies, events, and more

PLUS — accepted participants receive full Y access for an entire year and early access to select programs and events.

📍 Eric Snow Family YMCA
📅 June 8, 2026 – June 7, 2027
👥 Ages 11–14
💯 Limited spots available for qualifying youth— call the branch to register TODAY!

Congratulations Youtz Students! Recognition day was a success! Students earned certificates for Honor Roll, Merit Roll, Citizenship, Good Attendance and Perfect Attendance for 4th quarter. Students were also awarded special awards for growth in their iReady Diagnostic Tests and ALO Growth. Our Explo teachers also gave awards. Presidential Awards were given to a few select 6th graders.

2025-2026 CAST worked hard and helped make our community and school a better place. To end the year, the group enjoyed a pizza party to celebrate. This spring, they painted rocks and hid them around our school to give staff and students a little smile. They made pine cone bird feeders and put them in the Youtz courtyard and sent some to a nursing home. They also made cookies for the Refuge of Hope. Great job!!

Shout out to our outstanding 5th and 6th grade band students! They have dedicated everyday to band practice before school even starts to learn how to play their instrument. That is outstanding dedication! Tonight that hard work paid off in the concert they performed at Crenshaw. Very proud of you! Thank you to our very own Mrs. Shawna Hill for teaching band everyday and then coming to our school to teach music and choir all day. She had a lot of fun with them tonight as she conducted the theme song of Jurassic Park and dressed the part! So fun! 🎼🎷🥁🎼🖤👏🏼❤️

Youtz Girls on the Run Team did fabulous this weekend at their 5K run. They trained for months building social, emotional and physical skills. Our girls built inner strength that will help them navigate through life challenges successfully. Great job girls! Shout out to our coaches Miss Adams, Miss Bridgette, Miss Sierra and Mr. Ford! Thank you for a very successful season 👏🏼♥️👏🏼🖤👏🏼

Miss Darrah's students did an awesome job at the CCSD Bulldog Games! They focused on teamwork, athletic challenges and school pride. Great job Bulldogs! 👏🏼🎊♥️👏🏼🎊🖤

Heroes of Youtz! We have the BEST lunch staff around! 🍕❤️🥗❤️🌮❤️ Thank you ladies
