The York Academy PTO is a parent-run organization that works closely with school staff. Parents are welcome to join or attend meetings anytime throughout the year. Everyone is welcome! The PTO works to fund field trips, family fun nights, assemblies, classroom supplies and more. The York Academy PTO's objectives are to:

• Promote the welfare of the children in our schools.
• Improve conditions for children in school and the community.
• Bring about a closer relationship between parents/guardians and teachers so that they can work together in helping the children become outstanding citizens in the community.
• Secure the best advantages of physical, academic and social education for each child.

So far this school year, the PTO has offered events to bring families together and support the staff. Some of them include:

- The Race Back to School 5K
- Trunk or Treat (record attendance!)
 - Events for families at Keystone Kidspace, Chucky Cheese, Roll 'R' Way and more
- Lunch for staff during Student-Led Conferences
- Uniform swaps for families during Student-Led Conferences
- A virtual food drive to support the York County Food Bank

The next event will be at Panera Bread on Wednesday, April 5 from 4 - 8 p.m. (Carlisle Road location). Grab a snack, drink or meal and support the PTO! There are multiple ways to place an order.
