Young Women's Leadership Academy
at Booker T. Washington
Week of Dec. 19-21
Girls are GAME-CHANGERS!
Notes from Mrs. Doughty
This semester has flown by! It has been such a blessing to be in our Booker T. Washington location. The safety that a brick and mortar building provides our students and staff is invaluable.
I want to take this time to say thank you for choosing YWLA and trusting us with your daughter(s) every day. Each and every one of these ladies are precious to us.
I hope everyone has a safe and restful Christmas break. We look forward to seeing everyone back in 2023!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Laura Doughty

Don't forget...
Log into ApplyMidland and complete your student's Intent to Return. You will complete it even if your daughter will not return next year.
We are still in need of vanilla frosting and a variety of candy to decorate gingerbread houses.
