Please join us in celebrating the September 2024 Knights of Recognition:
Nicole Guy (Elementary School Social Worker).
“She has love and passion for her students and other students., and is determined to give each child what they need and deserve to better themselves. She is selfless and has a heart of gold. Without her, my kids would be lost. She helps them feel comfortable being themselves.” Nomination by a parent.
Peter Fanaro (Buildings & Grounds Dept.).
"Pete goes above and beyond to help make sure that classrooms are clean. He is always available to help someone out if they need help moving something, getting something from storage, etc. He is always friendly and says hello in the hallway." Nomination by a teacher.
Amy Picciano (M/H School Teacher).
"Amy continues to inspire me year after year with her ability to think flexibly, build relationships with students, plan and prepare for middle school fun nights AND our YTA parties, create fun bulletin boards, and truly care about our school. " Nomination by a teacher.
Each month, we ask our faculty, staff, students, parents, and community members to nominate a Golden Knight staff member who demonstrates one of the three YCS Vision qualities: Preparing, Challenging or Inspiring.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a York Golden Knight.


Trunk or Treat was a huge success!
The Halloween trunks were fantastic and a record number of families attended.

Thank you to all our donors, especially Mr. Anderson, The Barn, Tops, Livingston County Pizza Co., Tim Hortons, and Coyne Farms.
Until next year...Happy Halloween!











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 end of the month character assembly.

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!

Several York High School students took the first steps in earning the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness. When completed, the Seal of Civic Readiness appears as a distinction on the student’s high school transcript and diploma.
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.

Blaze your own trails today, Knights!

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 !

Miss Durfee's English 10 students participated in a classroom journey to learn about the experiences of refugees.
Students participated in a board game designed to introduce the themes of the book, "We Are Displaced: My Journey and Stories from Refugee Girls," by Malala Yousafzai.
The game included a series of challenges, emotions, and situations that refugees might encounter during their journeys to safety.
