Support Our Students
April 29, 2025 - During National Volunteer Week, we wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude to our school community for all the different ways you have contributed to helping our community thrive. From volunteering for events and committees, to offering your encouragement and care, and for those who were able to providing a voluntary donation last fall during our annual campaign. Simply stated – we could not do it without you!
The impact you are having is extraordinary. We invite you to browse some of the photos and quotes from students and teachers we’ve received to date which demonstrates our collective impact firsthand.
The theme for 2025 is Volunteers Make Waves. Together, we are building a future for each student at YMCI. The ripple effect truly has no ends.
Thank you once again for your generosity of spirit. 🫶

Here's what we were able to provide the school during 2024-2025 school year, thanks to generous contributions from our families:
IXL is now been jointly utilized by our ELL/ESL students, as well as YMCI Student Success and Numeracy support teams. To learn more how an IXI subscription makes a huge difference to the students, click HERE.
Many of our English Language learners are not yet reading at grade level. From an English language development perspective, IXL is a great tool for remedial support, and for building student capacity. In having access to activities aligned with the K-9 English language arts curriculum, students and teachers can personalize learning, track progress and identify areas for improvement. Everything is practical, and student centered. One feature I particularly love, is that students receive instant feedback which helps develop self-reflective learning and metacognition. This is a very human, student-centered tool that is rare in a digital educational platform. My classes also enjoy the vocabulary and grammar games!

I didn’t like it before, but now I think of it like a game that motivates me to study! Much like a game, I earn points. It’s also useful because it clarifies my doubts when I study.

Wireless headsets for the Tech Crew and staff advisors (right).
"The Hollyland Wireless C1 headsets have significantly enhanced communication and coordination among Tech Crew members and staff advisors. These headsets enable hands-free, real-time wireless communication, allowing team members to respond quickly and effectively to unexpected situations without interrupting their tasks or relying on close physical proximity. As a result, we’ve been able to adapt more smoothly during live events and ensure operations run seamlessly.
More importantly, the headsets have fostered stronger collaboration between Tech Crew and other major school organizations—including MUCO, STUCO, and Student Productions—which had previously operated more independently. This improved communication has led to smoother event execution, fewer misunderstandings, and a more cohesive working relationship across clubs, helping to build a stronger, more unified Titan identity."
