York Middle-High School student-musicians Avanda Coffey and Sydney Metz were selected to perform with the New York State Band Directors Association Honor Band. Avanda performed in the Middle School Honors Band and Sydney with the High School Honors Band. The concert took place at the Doubletree Inn in Syracuse. York’s Zara Hopkins served as an alternate.
Congratulations to Avanda and Sydney - we are so proud of your accomplishments.
This was the first time YCS sent students to the NYSBDA’s Honor Band performance, and YCS was the only school district represented within Livingston, Genesee, Wyoming, Steuben, and Orleans Counties. Two school districts from Monroe County, Brighton and Churchville-Chili CSD, had students in the performance.
Avanda and Sydney were selected from over 400 students across the state to perform with the Honor Bands. To be considered for a nomination, they auditioned at NYSSMA solo festivals over several years, earning high scores on difficult solos to even be considered for nomination. The auditions consisted of very challenging performance criteria. It is an enormous honor that two students from the same district were selected from over 400 nominations.
We thank our York Music Boosters and parents for making this and many other valuable opportunities possible.

Avon Lions Club members brought their SEE (Screening Eyes Early) detection program to York Elementary School. This valuable program screens children for vision problems that can lead to amblyopia (known as Lazy Eye).
Students in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade. The screening program is done annually in the primary grades so that all elementary students receive the vision detection screening.
The Lions SEE vision program focuses on screening young children up to six years old. The trained volunteers from the Avon Lions Club use a device called a Welch Allyn vision screener. The process is simple and non-intrusive. The Lion volunteer holds the vision screener approximately 36 inches from the child. A light flashes and the data is recorded.
Thank you to the Avon Lions Club for providing this important vision screening to our students.
ATTENTION: The Middle School Bingo Night scheduled for this Friday, March 7, has been postponed until Friday, March 28, 2025, (6p.m. to 7:30 p.m.) to allow our students to attend the Boys Varsity Basketball Sectional Championship game at the Blue Cross Arena.
Go Knights and we will see Middle Schoolers on March 28 for B-I-N-G-O!
York Elementary School kicked off Read Across America month with a salute to Dr. Seuss,, beloved for his whimsical, non-sensical, rhyming storybooks for children.

Students discovered there is a masked reader who will be around this month! Who is the masked reader? Is it Fergus the fluent fox? Penny the problem causing Panda? Otis the observant owl? Sheila the short story shark?
