JW York Elementary PTA

With a PTA grant, Ms. Eckert was able to purchase CHOMP saws for art class! These kid-friendly tools make it easier and safer for students to cut, create, and turn their ideas into amazing projects!

Let’s celebrate another school year in the books! 🎉🍦 Join us at Two Roosters Ice Cream next Wednesday from 2–9 PM for a sweet treat. Two Roosters is one of our favorite community spots!
We can’t think of a better way to kick off summer. See you there! 🍦🐾

Congratulations to Deb Riggins, York’s Volunteer of the Year! 🎉

At today’s final PTA meeting, we had the privilege of showering Deb with gratitude for the time and dedication she gives to York!

A special thank-you to Robin Roche, our VP of Fundraising, for nominating Deb for this well-deserved honor. We’re lucky to have both of these incredible women helping make York such a special place.

Congratulations, Deb, and thank you for everything you do! 💙💛

Today our staff took a moment to enjoy some tasty treats and beverages, many of which came directly from your generous “Stock the Lounge” donations! 💙 🍪🐾

Your kindness helps brighten our team’s day and reminds them how valued they are! 💚

🍧 Popsicles on the Playground! 🍦
Join us Wednesday, June 3 at 4:30 PM to connect with other families, vote on next year’s PTA board, and enjoy a sweet treat. (Note you must be a current PTA member to vote.) Kids are welcome! See you there!

Bring gloves, and if you have them: a rake or wheelbarrow. Thanks for keeping our campus beautiful!

A huge thank you to Rachel’s Native Plants for donating the beautiful plants in our bed along the carpool loop! They have established so well and are looking fantastic! 🌱

We’d also like to give a shoutout to the Grounds Guardians volunteers who did some serious w**ding along the carpool loop and playground. Thank you for keeping our campus beautiful! 🤩

Rain or shine! 🌧️☀️
Take advantage of our last cool weekend and come help us beautify our school grounds! 🌱
We’ll be w**ding the beds by the main office, in the parking lot, and near the upper playground. We want our campus to look great for our moving-up ceremony and other end-of-year events!
👉Please bring gloves, your favorite w**ding tools, w**d whackers, and buckets for hauling away organic waste.
See you there!

Our PreK students had a wonderful visit from Heather with Learning in Motion last Friday!

Students enjoyed a playful interactive session full of movement. Afterwards each child took home a copy of the book used during the program along with activities to enjoy with their families. 💙

Thank you to Heather for bringing learning to life for our youngest bulldogs!

This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County.
