Welcome back to the Bulldog Blitz Podcast, where we dive into the exciting programs shaping students' experiences at Yellow Springs Schools!

Joining us in the episode are:

• Emily Berlo, Mills Lawn PE Teacher
• Megan Winston, Mills Lawn Principal
• Jacob, a sixth-grade student
• Anna, a fourth-grade student

We’ll be exploring how our youngest learners are mastering bike riding, how the Bike Bus is transforming student commutes, and why PE class now includes skating. Stick around—this one’s going to be fun!

This episode spotlights a brand new program now offered at our middle and high school – Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICap). This is a program designed to guide students as they explore careers, research post-secondary opportunities, and develop their personal goals. We’re joined by Principal Jack Hatert, School Counselor Julie Gunn, parent Christy Vincent, and two of our freshmen, Brooklyn Hapgood and Edwin Harrah. Together, they’ll share insights into ICAP’s impact, from helping students find their passion to setting a path for future success.
