Congratulations to middle school band students Knox Brown and Jonathan Otero for both placing into the Region 3 Junior Honor Band! This achievement represents a remarkable milestone, as it is the first time in years that more than one middle school student has ranked in the junior band. Knox is ranked 4th in Region 3 on alto saxophone and Jonathan is ranked 12th for flute. The Region 3 band clinic will be held on February 21-22 at Nation Ford High School. Join us in celebrating these talented musicians!

Ms. Montgomery's Kindergarten class was filled with excitement today as they welcomed a special Mystery Reader! Laney, a fourth grader who once sat in their seats, returned to share "How to Catch Santa" with her former teacher and the class, which included her little sister, Georgia. Witnessing our students grow and blossom #FromRootsToBloom is one of the things that makes teaching at York Prep so meaningful!

Mad City Money is an outstanding program offered by Founders Federal Credit Union that provides students with a "game of life" experience! High school students in our Personal Finance and Workplace Communication classes received a fictional life profile that included details such as occupation, salary, debt, and family relationships and had to create a budget using this information. What an awesome hands-on experience for our students preparing them with "the knowledge, skills, character, and determination necessary to excel in their chosen post-secondary pursuits and in life." Thank you for sharing your time and expertise with our students today!
