Mrs. Savage's fitness lab put middle school students through a series of stations, each one measuring various aspects of their fitness, including flexibility, strength, endurance, and more.
Stations included sit-ups, running in place, plank holds, push-ups, and sit-and-reach.
Ms. Santora was in the class to photograph the fitness lab in action. The students decided that she should also participate in the lab, not just take the photographs, so she had to drop and give them 20 push-ups!

October is Fire Prevention education month. YCS is very fortunate to have our local volunteer fire departments dedicated to sharing fire safety education with our students.
Today, volunteer firefighters from York, Leicester, and Cuylerville Fire Departments visited our school. They presented fire safety tips to our students, familiarized them with how a firefighter may look if they showed up at their home in an emergency, and explained the different types of firefighting equipment.
Thank you to the firefighters who came to York Elementary School today and all the local firefighters who protect our homes and families. See all the photos on our Facepage page @yorkgoldenknights
Fall is a fun time at local farms.
Our first grade classes had a wonderful day at Duvall Farms in Bloomfield. Special thanks to Kim Duvall and her staff for hosting all our first graders!
Everyone enjoyed the Pumpkin Palace and all the activities. Students went on a hayride, picked sunflowers and pumpkins, navigated the corn maze, enjoyed a pony ride, and petted all the animals!
They also enjoyed the bounce house and exploring all the different picture locations. It was beautiful weather for our picnic lunch. Afterward, we stopped at Sharks for ice cream.
Fall is a fantastic time of year!
