York's Annual Fund
This week we shared a video showcasing how York's Annual Fund donations enhance our students' experiences. Tuition covers our core operations and salaries, but the Annual Fund provides the extra programs and resources that make York extraordinary. Our goal this year is 100% parent participation, and while every gift counts—we invite families to consider joining our 1965 Society with a gift of $2,500 or more. To learn more about the annual fund and to make a donation click here.
1965 Society Members Invitation
Please join us for a member appreciation cocktail party on Wednesday, November 18 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm at our 1320 campus.
This hands-on, interactive evening is dedicated to our 1965 Society members who made a gift last year of $2,500 or greater to York's Annual Fund. Guests will have the opportunity to see and experience firsthand what the Annual Fund allowed our students and teachers to achieve over the past year. We promise a fun and inspiring evening you won’t soon forget! Please rsvp here.

Congratulations to our Varsity Boys Soccer who reached the Semi-Finals of Divison 2 at the CAIS Senior Boys Tournament. It is our school’s best finish ever.
Good luck to Familia W., Maya S., Asya S., and Ash S. as they will represent our school at OFSAA (Provincial Championships) for Tennis next week in Toronto. This is the first time we will have participated in this event in our school’s history.
The playoffs are coming! Our U12, U11 and U10 teams are finishing off next week participating in final festivals, while many of our Middle/Senior teams will be hosting playoff games led by our undefeated Junior Varsity and U14 Girls Basketball teams.
It is that time of year – York School Raptors Community Nights are upon us. We have two great games this year where you can see Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio spurs or Lebron James and the Philadelphia 76ers. Two great nights that bring our community together. Deadline to get tickets is November 9, 2026.
Go Storm!
