This is just a reminder to follow up last week's memo about the Yorktown spring sports ceremony to be held this evening, 6/12 at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.  All are asked to bring a dessert to share. Also - please remember to turn in uniforms to Mr. Stripe before Friday, 6/16.  Thank you!

1 - (One final reminder) The Activities Department invites parents of student-athletes to join us on Thursday, December 8 at 7:00 p.m. at program for parents addressing the challenges of dealing with substance use among our student-athletes.  Two current Yorktown families will be the featured presenters, sharing recent experiences with their children who played sports at Yorktown but whose seasons were cut short by substance abuse.  In addition to personal experiences, community resources will be discussed during this hour-long program.  Many members of the Yorktown coaching staff will be present as we all join together to address this difficult but critical topic. The program will be held in the cafeteria from 7-8 pm.  All are welcome!
