This chilly fall morning over the valley...
Opportunities are like sun rises. If you wait too long, you miss them. William Arthur Ward
Explore your opportunities today, Knights!
It looks like the cold weather has arrived and along with that comes chapped lips!
YCS Seniors have the cure! Hailey, Madison, Meredith, and Felicity created flavored beeswax lip balms to sell as a fundraiser for their Senior trip.
Choose from four flavors: Vanilla, peppermint, strawberry, and creamsicle.
Order one lip balm for $2 or all four lip balms for $6! That's a great deal.
Use this form to order no later than December 2.

York Central School hosted community senior citizens for breakfast this morning.
High School students served their guests a hot breakfast of eggs, sausage, coffee, juice, and pastries. Mr. Vogel and Sophie Hatfield performed musical pieces. Some students were especially proud to have their grandparents and other family members present.
The senior citizens extended their appreciation to Mr. Furletti for having them for breakfast and for everything the school does for seniors in the community.
Thanks go to Heidi Newcomb, Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, and Laurie Cutcliffe, Food Service Director for their efforts to host the breakfast.
The senior citizen breakfast is one of our favorite activities at YCS.

It's the Golden Knights Way!
Way to go Dylan - showing kindness to your classmates.
Middle School students and staff were out and about in the York community on Monday, raking leaves at the cemetery and other locations.
Community service is an important component of learning at YCS. It fosters a sense of civic responsibility and develops important life skills like communication and leadership.
Helping others at school and in the community teaches students to build empathy for the world around them. Participating in community service projects lets students see their impact on the world.
An update from the York Knighty News Desk!
Election Day 2024 Coverage!
Students in Ms. Moulton's and Mrs. Patanella's classrooms cast their ballots today. It was a highly contested election to decide whether the students wanted to extend recess and increase their homework by the same amount of time, or reduce their recess time, which would increase class time, and in turn, reduce their homework time.
Voter turnout was very high and the results were close but by a slim margin, the students voted to increase their recess time, thereby increasing their homework for one day next week.
Great job voters! You researched the options and made informed decisions.
The Elementary School Book Fair is this week, November 4 - 8.
