Busy Summer Ahead for YPS

School has only been out a week and we are battening down the hatches for a busy summer around YPS.

* The FREE Lunch Program begins on June 1st and ends on July 10th. It will run from Noon - 1:00 Monday through Friday at York Elementary School. Everyone between the ages of 1-18 can eat free. These will be delicious lunches with a main entree, fruits, vegetables, dessert, and milk. Adults can eat for $3.50. This is a federally funded program that we've had in place for four years now.

* Minor facility projects will take place at YES, YMS, and YHS this summer. New carpet will be installed at the elementary and some concrete repairs will be made, as well as some cabinetry work in the media center. The gym floor at YMS will be re-sanded, re-painted, and re-sealed. The high school will have some window replacements done, some music room improvements, new carpet in the theater, new doors in the theater commons, as well as some locker room enhancements.

* We have BOOST and ALL-STARS academic programming that run from June 1st through July 10th at YES and YMS and we expect over 90 students daily in this grant funded program. They will take some field trips and have lots of hands-on experiences this summer!

* We have 12 students that will be attending "Bright Lights" programming in Lincoln throughout June and July.

* We have 15 students that will be in our first ever "Entrepreneurship Academy" in mid-July.

* Drivers' Education is taking place throughout the summer at YHS.

* The month of June will serve as credit recovery time for summer school at the Enrichment Center.

* As always, there will be plenty of athletic camps, leagues, etc. as well.

It's going to be a busy and prosperous summer! GO DUKES!
