Memorial Day...
On this day, the York Golden Knights remember and honor those men and women who sacrificed themselves for freedom.
Good luck York Golden Knights Track & Field team at Sectionals tonight!
Mr. Chatley's eighth grade classes have had two opportunities to look at aspects of military service. On May 17, the students welcomed U.S. Army Special Operations & Civil Affairs Captain Greg Johnson to their classroom.
Captain Johnson, is a member of the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade - a Special Operations Airborne unit based out of Fort Liberty, North Carolina. He is also Mr. Chatley’s brother-in-law. Captain Johnson talked about his interest in the military from a young age and his involvement in the ROTC program through St. Bonaventure University.
Students learned about his specialized training, and his humanitarian work with the Civil Affairs unit.
Thank you to Captain Johnson for his service to our country and for taking time to talk about it with our students.
In another exploration into military life, Mr. Chatley’s students took a trip down Rt. 63 to the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, N.Y. The students had studied World Wars I and II as well as the Korean War in class.
Museum volunteers, many of whom have served our country with pride, led the students on an exploration of artifacts, historical documents, and of course authentic military vehicles and aircraft from past wars. The students expressed to Mr. Chatley their satisfaction with both of these experiences.
We are thrilled to announce the return of the York Character Carnival, an event that brings joy and entertainment to our students, their families, and the community. As an integral part of this beloved tradition, we are reaching out to request your generous support in the form of financial contributions or donations for our silent auction.
As a token of our gratitude, all sponsors will be prominently featured on our school's website and the York Golden Knights Facebook page. Additionally, Knight sponsors will have their names displayed on designated carnival games, and auction donors will be recognized in the silent auction area. Your generosity will also be acknowledged in the main gathering area during the event.
Furthermore, your contribution is tax deductible, and we will provide you with our tax identification number (see below) for your records.
