If you ask a York CSD alum, they'll likely mention Apple Umpkin Day in first grade as one of their fondest memories.

First-grade teacher Mrs. Sandy Streb started this activity many years ago and with the support of the other teachers, the tradition has continued. The students moved through centers that reinforced the skills they have learned. Apple Umpkin Day holds a lot of learning and fun! Many thanks to the parents and community members who volunteered to help out in the classrooms.

York Elementary School Red Ribbon Committee created seven days of activities to reinforce the 2024 theme, "Life is a Movie - Film Drug Free." Red Ribbon Week was October 23 - 31, 2024.

The daily themes were: From Head to Toe, I'm Drug-Free, Turn Your Back on Drugs, Our Future is Bright Without Drugs, Saying No to Drugs is No Sweat, Rally in Red, Your Choices Are the Key to Your Dreams, and Scare Drugs Away.

October 14 - 18, 2024, is School Board of Education Appreciation Week, a time to show our appreciation for the seven community volunteers who dedicate their time to the education of our students.

Thank you to board members Laura Geary (President), Kara Kane (Vice President), Christine Bianchi, Kirsty Northrop, Marilyn Moore, Daniel Ayers, and Matthew Miller.

Your leadership and dedication to YCS students and staff help supports our vision to prepare, challenge, and inspire all students to reach their potential.

At the October 7 meeting, each board member received a framed photo of the YCS campus, taken by Junior Brody Pangrazio, who captured it early in the morning using his drone.

We have awesome Knights!

Congratulations to these elementary school students who were recognized at the October character assembly for demonstrating respect.

The elementary school focuses on a character trait each month. Students who demonstrate that trait are recognized at the monthly character assembly.

Congratulations Golden Knights!

#Respect

Please join us in celebrating the September 2024 Knights of Recognition
