YCS featured in CSA Newsletter!
Our school was featured in the February issue highlighting the incredible work that has been done as a Showcase School. Congratulations to Ms. Samantha, Ms. Stacie and all of the YCS educators that have made our school such a special place for students and other educators to learn! Read the article here.

Prize donations needed for Game Night!
Game night is coming on Saturday,  March 2nd (note the new date!), and The PTA would love to have lots of great prizes for our kids!  It’s a great way to clean your closets of unopened birthday or holiday gifts. (Event flier can be found here!)

We are planning for two sessions for game night this year (PK – 1st and 2nd – 5th), and more detailed information about dates and times will follow soon.  In order to split up the event, we need more prizes than ever! Toys, games, puzzles and arts and crafts all make wonderful donations and are perfect for all ages.  

Simply drop off your prize in one of the bins provided in the east lobby or west lobby. Please tape your name to it so we know who donated!  Collection dates are: Monday, February 4th – Friday, March 1st.  

Thanks in advance for your support.  If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for this event,  please contact Lili at lili.lampasona@yorkvillecommunityschool.org

Any extra prizes will be donated to charity or saved for our school auction.

2019 YCS Auction Donations and Support Needed!
The YCS Spring Auction is our largest fundraiser of the year, and we need YOUR help!  Every dollar we raise helps support the valuable enrichment programs all our children enjoy and that are not funded by the Department of Education. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Get Your Tickets Our 2019 Auction will be held on Saturday, March 23rd – it’s the biggest party of the year so get your tickets today!  Click here to buy tickets now or send this form and your payment to the PTA office.

Contribute an Auction Item We are still accepting auction item donations – gift cards for restaurants, classes, salons, services, shopping, tickets to sports, music and entertainment, unique items or experiences, such as destinations, studio tours, crafts – all donation items welcome!  To contribute an item for the auction or to make a donation, please contact our Co-VP for Major Fundraising, Kate Hrobsky at khrobsky@me.com. (See attached form)

Donate a bottle of wine – If you have any bottles of wine laying around the house we will take them!  This year we will have a “Grab A Bottle of Wine” at the auction so we need as many as we can collect. These can be dropped off at the PTA office. If you can’t make it to the PTA office, you can email Kate at khrobsky@me.com to coordinate a drop off.

Please volunteer! The Auction Committee is looking for some assistance both before and after the event to plan and prepare. In particular, we need people who can work with Excel and Word document.  If you are interested in helping and can give some time please contact Kate Hrobsky at khrobsky@me.com.
