The football stadium at Yosemite High School sports a new concrete "Y" thanks to a cooperative effort between students and local businesses. The YHS environmental and spacial technology (EAST) class did the design work in what teacher Bob Collins calls a multiyear effort. They asked the regional occupational program construction class to assist with the project.

Students in that class built the forms and prepared the "Y" for the pouring of the concrete. The concrete was donated by Curtis Lovett of Outback Materials. Steve O'Reilly donated the equipment and time to pump the cement into form.

Students and teachers Collins and Dave Dooman worked an entire day in June to assist with the pouring and to finish the cement. "The kids did a great job," Collins said.

Next year, EAST students hope to partner with students from the school's agriculture department to beautify the area.
