York Central School is proud to announce that seven students will be performing in this Saturday's New York State School Music Association's Area All-State Festival.
Sylvia Llop (Flute), Avanda Coffey (Clarinet) Alanna Farley (French Horn), and Zara Hopkins (Euphonium) will perform in the Junior High Symphonic Band. They are students of Mr. Devin Vogel, Instrumental Music teacher at YCS.
Grade Northrop, Ethan Metz, and Lorenza Dimartino will perform in the Treble Choir. They are students of Dr. Nicholas Nicassio, Vocal Music teacher at YCS.
It is an honor for York Central School and the community to host this weekend's Fall NYSSMA) Area All-State Festival in Hilfiker Auditorium.
To be selected to perform in the Area All-State Festival is one of the highest honors a student-musician can achieve in the state. Only a few schools had students selected from the Genesee Valley School Music Association to perform with the ensembles, made up of the top music students from around Zone 2.
Zone 2 is one of the most competitive zones in New York and is comprised of Greater Rochester and the surrounding counties of Monroe, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Livingston, Ontario, Seneca, and Wayne. To be accepted into the group the students successfully auditioned at a Solo Festival in May and their scores secured them a place in the Festivals.
To be accepted into Area All-State as a small school is a remarkable achievement that isn’t often done! Congratulations and great job to all!

One of our favorite fall traditions is celebrating apple season with apple umpkin activities in first grade.
Started many years ago by Mrs. Streb, the students participate in several different activity centers in each of the first grade classrooms. They have fun painting, counting, coloring, pasting, and especially, creating caramel apples! Yum!
This fun day is a successful collaboration of Mrs. Streb, Miss Routly and Mrs. Rudgers, with plenty of help from our classroom aides and family volunteers.

Big applause for our elementary school students who competed in the Pumpkin Fun Run! They really showed their health and wellness in this activity.
All students trained for the pumpkin fun run over the past month in PE classes.
Students in grades 3-5 competed in the 1.2 mile course while our younger students in grades pre-k to 2 competed in the.6 mile course. Students could run, jog, or walk the course. Several staff members participated, as well.
After the fun run, students received a healthy snack, danced to Halloween music, played corn hole, PE connect four, and tic tac toe, and hula hooped while cheering on their classmates!
Big thanks to Mrs. D'Archangelo for organizing the Pumpkin Fun Run and to the PE and other staff who helped with the fun activity.
Perhaps the Boston Marathon will be in some of their futures!
When you're only in kindergarten and are recognized for acts of kindness - the future is bright!
Their teacher, Miss George, and Miss Bowick, their classroom aide, are very proud of these Bright Knights !

According to the New York State Education Department website, the Seal of Civic Readiness recognizes a student’s proficiency in civic skills and experiences and demonstrates their interest in community and civic engagement.
Students pursuing the Seal of Civic Readiness must complete the requirements, which includes specific classroom coursework and extracurricular projects.
