HALLOWEEN - October 31
We are looking forward to handing out some serious house points on Halloween as staff and students contribute to our 4th C-Value - Creativity!

At 11:30am we will have a Halloween Carnival in the Fitness Centre for our Middle School students, hosted by the spooktacular YPA and our Spirit Council student leaders.
As always, Halloween at York continues to be an opportunity for us to show our sense of community and innovation through school-appropriate costumes and activities with sweet incentives.
