Eighth Graders Arrive at Ellis Island
Imagine it’s 1910; you and your family are in the bowels of a steamship bound for a better life in America. After several days on the rough waters of the Atlantic Ocean, you arrive at Ellis Island.
The next chapter in your better life begins…not quite, you and your family must first pass the rigorous inspections at Ellis Island.
Mr. Ben Chatley’s eighth grade Social Studies students participated in an Ellis Island reenactment to deepen their understanding of European immigration to the United States.
The faculty played various roles in the simulation, including public health director, guards, and luggage inspector. Mr. Chatley played the role of the final decision-maker: Welcome to America or, please step over to the deportation line.
It's Friday afternoon in Kindergarten, on the 50th day of school...and then this happened. A 1950s sock hop!
The winner of this round is Mrs. Flint!

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.

Today was Interim Middle/High School Principal Tim Hayes' s first day on campus at York School . He jumped right into meeting the students and staff, and of course one more important thing -checking out the lunch options in the cafeteria.
Welcome to the Golden Knights family Mr. Hayes!
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.
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.
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.
