Lots going on within YPS

There are lots of positive things going on throughout the school district this month. Below is a sampling of what we have to keep students and staff busy. 1) Our USDA grant funded "free lunch" program has been up and running since May 22nd. We have served 379 student meals for an average of just over 47 per day. This program runs in the Legion Building where HeadStart is down by Chances "R." Meals are served Monday-Friday during June from 11:30-12:30. 2) Our "BOOST" and "ALL-STARS" programs begin at YES and YMS today. These six-week summer programs are an extension of our "after-school programs" that run during the regular school year. 3) Summer School is also up and running at the Enrichment Center this month. 4) June 11-15 will be our week-long "Summer Learning Academies" from 12:30-3:30 at YMS. We have approximately 38 students from grades 2-8 signed up for various activities provided by some of our teachers. 5) Two preschool classes also start this week, and run through the month of June. Tuesday and Thursday mornings we have children with special ed needs who have been to preschool, and will return to preschool in August. Wednesday mornings we have children in special ed who will be transitioning from home based services to preschool for the first time in August. 6) Last but not least, York Public Schools will celebrate its 141st birthday on June 14th.
