ELEMENTARY SCHOOL -

You show up every day, selflessly giving of yourself and empowering others to reach higher, dream bigger, and expand their possibilities. Thank you! #WeAreYorkPrep #YorkPrepExperience #TeacherAppreciationWeek

Kindergarten loves having mystery readers on Fridays, and last week was extra special! We were thrilled to welcome A’Aryn Lawson's dad, Austin Lawton, who is a professional basketball player. Mr. Lawton read the inspiring book "I Promise" by LeBron James, and he even brought fun basketball bracelets for everyone in the class! A big thank you to Mr. Lawton for making our day so special!

💡 Elementary STEAM Night was a tremendous success! We extend a special thank you to our dedicated elementary teachers and staff, the High School Science Demonstration Club, the Winthrop University ITC Program, the Museum of York County, the York County Library, Code Ninjas (Tega Cay/Fort Mill), Children’s Art Class Fort Mill, Club SciKidz Charlotte South, and the British Swim School of Metro Charlotte for making this event possible!

☀️When the weather is this gorgeous, we take our books outside! #WeAreYorkPrep #YorkPrepExperience #YorkPrepES

During Black History Month, Elementary STEAM classes learned about famous Black inventors by reading "Have You Thanked An Inventor Today?" by Patrice McLaurin, which inspired them to plan and create their own original designs.

Ms. Montgomery's Kindergarten class was filled with excitement today as they welcomed a special Mystery Reader! Laney, a fourth grader who once sat in their seats, returned to share "How to Catch Santa" with her former teacher and the class, which included her little sister, Georgia. Witnessing our students grow and blossom #FromRootsToBloom is one of the things that makes teaching at York Prep so meaningful! #WeAreYorkPrep #YorkPrepExperience #YorkPrepES

At York Prep, we offer unique experiences designed to ignite a love of learning and help students explore potential career paths for their future.

Wishing our #YorkPrepFamily a safe and very Happy Thanksgiving!

We all know about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but have you heard about the YPA Elementary Thanksgiving Parade? Our 4th graders created original cardboard designs and paraded them down the halls, bringing excitement and smiles to our students. And of course, no Thanksgiving parade would be complete without a special visit from Santa! Check out pictures and a video at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15fwyYRV9r/
