MESSAGE FROM STRUAN ROBERTSON, HEAD OF SCHOOL
JUNIOR SCHOOL FOOD SURVEY
We're committed to fostering an environment of excellence at York, and that commitment extends to every aspect of your child's day, including their snacks and lunches. We believe that nutritious and enjoyable food plays a vital role in our young learners' well-being and their ability to thrive academically and socially.
To better understand what our Junior School students are enjoying and to explore exciting new possibilities for our menus, we've created this survey for you to take with your child(ren). Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to offer a diverse and appealing culinary experience that supports our students' healthy development and broadens their palates. If you could please complete the survey by Friday, June 13, 2025, we would greatly appreciate it.
YORK’S ANNUAL FUND
Help us finish the school year strong by giving to York's Annual Fund. If you donate before June 30, you'll be included in our donor appreciation list.
This list is featured in York's 'Year in Review,' published each fall.
