On Thurs., April 27, York faculty celebrated “Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day” by showing their children what is involved in a day in the life of a York Duke. From decorating bags to playing games in the fieldhouse to making slime, there was no shortage of fun for these children.

“My favorite part of York is that I got to get a donut when I walked into school,” said Sophie, the daughter of French teacher Madame Hamidi.

All around the nation, parents brought their eager children to the workplace and organized special activities to show them the excitement of their careers. Here’s a look at the York staff’s children enjoying the many events put on for this fun day.
