Don't know why these smiles are unlike any we have seen this season! A little bigger, a little brighter, a little happier! Could it be that the smiles are just letting you know we're pretty excited to be the MSL EAST Division Champions for 2022! Champs 2.0! Way to go Ladies!

[Ms. Payton Froats @MsFroats]

Looking forward to the big day!

The most in-depth project I’ve done for #thisisyork is now published. This wouldn’t be what it is without the help of members in the York community. I hope you take time to read their stories. #StandUpForUkraine @YorkD205 @District205 @BourkeEDU @MsFroats

Some @YorkD205 journalism students went to the @nhsjc spring conference. They networked, participated in breakout sessions, and learned some great lessons. And soaked in the sights and weather of LA. Very proud!
