Sea Creatures SECOND GRADERS RAISE OVER $300 FOR THE OCEAN CONSERVANCY
Updated February 6, 2012

The Second Grade culminated their Sea Creature study by creating their own Sea Creature museums. Museum ticket sales, along with sales from the museum café and gift shops raised over $300 for the Ocean Conservancy.

The Ocean Conservancy believes "It's time to look beneath the surface to see where the health of our planet really begins. It's time to recognize the source that sustains us day to day with the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe... To discover that all living things are connected to the ocean. It's time to understand that going green starts with living blue. It's time to start a sea change."

Awesome Job 2nd Graders!!!

YCS FOOD DRIVE FOR YORKVILLE COMMON PANTRY
Updated December 8, 2011

Thank you for your generous food donations!

Last week the Yorkville Common Pantry collected the food that our school community donated to those in need. YCP's Food Pantry Program is NYC's largest community-based food pantry and is designed to meet the needs of NYC families by providing culturally appropriate and nutritionally-balanced food. Every Wednesday through Saturday, YCP is able to distribute grocery packages to over 1,200 needy families. YCP was thrilled with our donations - we certainly provided food for many families this Thanksgiving holiday!

Helping those that are less fortunate is an important part of being a member of a community and at YCS we are helping our children learn that important lesson. Thank you for helping support our YCS friends and neighbors!
