Winter Concert and Citrus Sale Thanks

Congratulations to all YHS Band students on a beautiful performance at Wednesday’s Winter Concert!  Many thanks to all the band parents who donated items, or their time, to create our post-concert celebration.  Special thanks to Mrs. Serafin for coordinating the on-line donations.  What a special evening for our learning community.

Many thanks to all the band parents and students who donated their time to help unload and distribute our citrus delivery.  Special thanks to Mrs. Cirone, Mr. Cravedi, Mrs. DiPierro, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Ng, Mrs. Scinto, Mr. Serafin, Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. Verdeschi and Mrs. Woodard, who helped us through the ordeal of unloading the truck.  And, extra special thanks to band parents Mrs. Brawitsch and Mrs. Ryan-Onatzevitch for coordinating the day’s parent volunteers.

Operation Santa

Was a great success!  Using a portion of the profit from this year’s Citrus Sale, we purchased over $250 worth of warm clothing, toiletries, toys and treats for our kindergartener, Fabian.   Thank you so much as well to the families who sent in extra gifts! The students and I are so happy that we have this opportunity to give back!

Save The Date

Our next concert performance is Saturday 2/6/16 at 7:00, in the YHS GYM.  This is our annual Swing Dance and Concert.  All YHS Band students are required to attend.  It is both a concert, and a dance, and everyone is invited!  (Yes, parents, you are invited!  Don’t let your student tell you otherwise!).  This is a well-attended and fun evening for our entire Yorktown community (last year we had audience members ages 2 – 92!).  More details to follow.

Best wishes to you all for a restful and peaceful holiday season.
