YES Trail of Wonder Ribbon Cutting | April 2026

A group of people, including adults and children, are standing together in a park-like setting with trees and a sign in the background.

🌿🦋 A Wonderful New Chapter Begins at Yorktown Elementary! 🦋🌿

Today, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of Yorktown Elementary School’s Trail of Wonders—a space designed to inspire curiosity, exploration, and a love for nature. ✂️🌱

Joined by students, staff, families, and school board members, this new trail will serve as an outdoor classroom and a place where monarch butterflies can visit and pollinate.

We’re grateful for our partnership with the 4-H Schoolyard Habitats outreach program for helping bring this vision to life and supporting hands-on environmental learning.

The Trail of Wonders is a path to discovery, and we can’t wait to see our students grow along the way! 💚🌼
