What an incredible evening at tonight’s School Board Meeting! Our students and staff represented Yorktown Elementary with excellence, pride, and heart as they shared about our Falcon Garden and the amazing work happening at YES.

We could not be more proud of the confidence, leadership, and teamwork our Falcons demonstrated tonight. Thank you to everyone who helped make this presentation such a success and for showcasing the very best of our Falcon Family.

Great job, Falcons! You truly made us proud tonight!

We are officially in the FINAL stretch of the school year, Falcon Fam… and we’ve got this!

Only 17 more school days to go!

Seventeen more days of learning, growing, laughing, celebrating, and making memories together. This year has been filled with so much hard work, dedication, and heart from our students, staff, and families.

Let’s finish strong, support one another, and keep soaring all the way to the last day. We are a Falcon Family, and there’s nothing we can’t accomplish together!

What a GREAT day to be a Falcon!

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, we simply want to say THANK YOU. 💙

This week reminded us just how blessed we are to be surrounded by such an incredible staff, supportive families, and a community that truly loves and appreciates our teachers. From the thoughtful treats and gifts to the kind words, surprises, and generosity shown all week long — we felt the love in every single moment.

To our amazing teachers and staff: thank you for the heart you pour into our students every day. Your dedication, compassion, patience, and commitment do not go unnoticed. You are the reason our school feels like family.

Our hearts are full, and we are so grateful for an AMAZING Teacher Appreciation Week! 🦅✨
