Yoke

The Yoke folk are excited to start this year off with a bang! We will have our first club meeting September 22 (the week before break). We meet in the cafeteria on Tuesday nights from 7-8pm. Come join us for a great night of games, songs, fun, and fellowship! If you have any questions, ask Mrs. Hodson in the eighth grade.

YOKE is a non-profit organization that recruits and screens college-age volunteers as well as adult volunteers to be Christian role models to middle school students (6-8th grades only) who choose to come to weekly club meetings. Games, songs, skits, relays, and contests that revolve around a theme are part of the weekly club activities. Just before the club time is over each week, a leader will share a short devotion from the Bible. Camps and small group time are also a part of YOKE’s ministry to encourage the students. YOKE will be held every Tuesday in the evening from 7-8 pm in the gymnasium or in the cafeteria here at Alcoa Middle School unless it is announced otherwise. There is no cost to attend. Students can come participate at anytime throughout the year. Parents are welcome to meet the YOKE leaders on Tuesday nights. Mrs. Hodson, who teaches eighth grade language arts, is the teacher sponsor for YOKE this year. Feel free to ask her questions regarding YOKE at AMS or call Christina Jones at the Blount County YOKE office at 984-3366.
