Mrs. Trish Pangrazio's seventh grade science students dissected frogs to gain a better understanding of the anatomy.
Students worked in groups with their first step being to expose the cavity of the frog. Using dissection tools and with Mrs. Pangrazio's guidance, the students located and remove the liver, gallbladder, stomach, large and small intestines, heart, lungs, and kidneys.
Dissection labs are a way for students to get a thorough understanding of an animal's organs and systems, and how they work.
And that's a wrap on the High School Pageturners season of competitions.
ELA Teacher Miss Emma Durfee is the advisor to the Pageturners team of Flora Helton, Natasha Hart, Sylvia Llop, Chloe Sunday, Lorenza Dimartino, Henry Scott, Ethan Metz, Gwen Metz, and Evan Reimer.
York finished in fifth place and we look forward to these students returning to Pageturners next year!
Friday, March 21, 2025, is World Down Syndrome Day!
Since that is our Superintendent's Conference Day, we are asking our students and staff to wear their brightest, most colorful, unique, and spunky socks to school on Thursday, March 20 in celebration of people with Down Syndrome and the many ways they make our world brighter!
Mrs. Julie Savage's students were given an assignment to create a game of strategy that can be played by children and their families.
The students worked in groups and then demonstrated their game using their classmates as players. They had to write a narrative that included what age groups the game is suitable for, clear directions, and the objective to win the game.
Mrs. Savage was impressed with the creativity and variety of the games. Looks like these students will never run out of fun ideas to pass their time!
The annual CO2 car races took place and the entries were some of the best ever!
Students designed their own unique designs with a focus on creativity and speed!
The CO2 races give the students an idea of how their design will perform on Wednesday at Genesee Community College Tech Wars.
Congratulations to all of the students who entered cars - the unique variety and speed of the cars was impressive. And good luck to our students who are competing at Tech Wars tomorrow.

York High School students traveled to Genesee Community College today to participate in GLOW With Your Hands: Healthcare.
Over 600 students from the GLOW region (Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming Counties), explored careers and spoke with representatives from hospitals and health systems; professionals in nursing, mental health, social services, and emergency responders.
YCS School-to-Work Coordinator Mr. Bill Mackenzie accompanied the students to GCC and said the career fair connected them with a wide-variety of healthcare career representatives who engaged the students in hands-on activities.
GLOW With Your Hands is sponsored by area business and education groups.

York Middle-High School student-musicians Avanda Coffey and Sydney Metz were selected to perform with the New York State Band Directors Association Honor Band. Avanda performed in the Middle School Honors Band and Sydney with the High School Honors Band. The concert took place at the Doubletree Inn in Syracuse. York’s Zara Hopkins served as an alternate.
Congratulations to Avanda and Sydney - we are so proud of your accomplishments.
This was the first time YCS sent students to the NYSBDA’s Honor Band performance, and YCS was the only school district represented within Livingston, Genesee, Wyoming, Steuben, and Orleans Counties. Two school districts from Monroe County, Brighton and Churchville-Chili CSD, had students in the performance.
Avanda and Sydney were selected from over 400 students across the state to perform with the Honor Bands. To be considered for a nomination, they auditioned at NYSSMA solo festivals over several years, earning high scores on difficult solos to even be considered for nomination. The auditions consisted of very challenging performance criteria. It is an enormous honor that two students from the same district were selected from over 400 nominations.
We thank our York Music Boosters and parents for making this and many other valuable opportunities possible.
