APPLE PICKING @ WILKEN’S FARM

Today 40 YHS Band students enjoyed a social outing to Wilken’s Farm!  Students had fun apple picking, eating cider donuts, and making “Bandtastic” memories.  Many thanks to Band Officers Thomas Mitchell (’23) and Chinmay Satpute (’22) for organizing this trip. Many thanks as well to the group of Band parents who helped chaperone – the students and Ms. Kluga appreciate your time and support! Photos attached for you to enjoy.
