In the fall and spring our school will be offering recreational leagues to enhance the 4Cs, build community, and have students solve problems with athletic games.

The YES Bulldog Flag Team assumes the role of raising and lowering the US and NC flags each day. Students in grades 3, 4, & 5 are eligible to participate as team members. Flag raising will occur daily (am and pm - weather permitting) to help raise and lower the US and NC flags.

KidzArt (Mondays after school 4:00-5:00)

We are pleased to announce that KidzArt after-school sessions are returning to York ES. If you’re not familiar with KidzArt, it is a drawing-based paid program that uses artist-quality materials. It focuses on the following:

• A nurturing, non-competitive environment

• Easy-to-learn drawing techniques that bring ideas to life

• Introduction to contemporary and visual art that sets the stage for a lifelong appreciation of the visual arts

• Age-appropriate, safe, professional-level art supplies that easily adapt to tools of self-expression

• Creative activities that promote problem-solving

• Focusing exercises that enhance learning

• A recognition of individual style that is welcomed and celebrated.

• After participating in KidzArt, confidence grows and skills develop that carry over into other areas of study. Students find themselves trying things they never would have attempted before.

Students apply to be leaders in the Media Center.  They check in books, file items, as well as help out students as they come in the morning with tech needs or book issues.

Ambassadors in 5th grade have the opportunity to participate in leading the school's recycling club.  They collect recycling materials/bins from classrooms weekly, teach classrooms the proper way to recycle, and help promote recycling on campus.

Students work on their training for sports with Coach Scott as they collect data and chart their progress in the run club.  They generate leaders of all grade levels as they encourage one another to be successful in the time they have together.

Coach Scott is the faculty advisor for safety patrol. Safety Patrol is for 5th grade students. Safety Patrol applications go out in the spring for the following year's team so that rising 4th grade students can be trained by current 5th grade safety patrol team members. 

You MUST BE a rising 5th grader. Applications and details will be provided to all 5th grade students at Meet the Teacher and/or during the first week of school. 

Student Council is run by the 5th grade team. Students will hear more about student council expectations and how to participate in the fall.
