Senior and Sixth Grade collaboration!
Seniors spent time with Sixth Grade students, sharing organizational tips with them and then helped them organize their lockers.

Our young students are crushing September!
In Miss George's First Grade class, students practice their penmanship by learning to write their names. Miss George demonstrates how to write the letters and properly hold a pencil. The students did a great job and displayed their name tags at the Elementary School Open House.
Mrs. Feltham, the York Elementary School Librarian, also teaches STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) to students. Kindergarten students learned about various shapes, how to draw them, and how to color them, which was very fun! They were so proud of their pictures!
With just a few weeks into the school year, we are very pleased to say that our Elementary School students crushed September!

Sixth Grader Jake Farwell Donates Proceeds from 4-H Auction to Helping the Community
York Sixth Grader Jake Farwell raised a hog that sold at the Hemlock Fair 4-H auction for $4,800. He generously donated it to two worthwhile local organizations: The Knights Bites Food Pantry at York Central School, and The Tanner Hodges Memorial Youth Football Fund through the York Junior Knights. Jake is a great example of the Golden Knights Way!
“I chose these two charities because I love my community first and foremost. The food pantry is utilized by families in my school district. The Tanner Hodges Memorial Fund is used for the youth football program that Tanner was a part of. The funds help families in need and help keep the equipment safe and up to date, so all kids can stay safe while learning a sport that Tanner loved. Tanner was a kid us younger kids looked up to, to be the best teammate and to exhibit the best sportsmanship,” Jake commented.
Jake spent a week at the Hemlock Fair for 4H. He won Reserved Grandmaster Showman for his poultry in addition to auctioning his pig for charity.
"We are proud to call Jake ours here at York MS/HS, as he is an excellent role model for all of us, choosing service over self and prioritizing his community through this generous donation. Jake's hard work and selfless actions are a great reminder for the YCS community about what it means to be a Golden Knight!” Middle/High School Principal Mr. Passarell said.
