8th Grade Activity Night excites future York Dukes
The influx of students returning to in-person learning means that many will be in the school building for the first time in over a year. While students and their families can choose to stay home for remote learning, most chose to return for the four day schedule.
Every year all of York’s clubs, sports, programs, and other various activities, set up a table or two each to introduce incoming freshmen to the dozens of activities offered here. This event is the Eighth Grade Activity Night, and this year it was a huge success. Hundreds of eighth graders strolled the halls of York with their parents, exploring the endless possibilities for the next four years of their life. Defined by interaction, curiosity, and opportunity, this year’s activity night painted an image of an involved and inclusive student body.
