Get the Lowdown with Dr. Lowe

York Academy Families:

I’m very proud to share that Neva Kirk-Jadric and Wesley Keller have been named “Commended Students” in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program! About 34,000 Commended students nationwide are being recognized for their exceptional academic excellence. Neva and Wesley placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2025 competition by taking the 2023 PSAT/National Merit Scholarship qualifying test. Excellent job, Neva and Wesley!

Also, I’d like to thank everyone who came to Trunk or Treat and our Saborea. We had record attendance at both events! Check out these pictures from Trunk or Treat and these pictures from Saborea. Many thanks to the House of Sanchar and the PTO for organizing Trunk or Treat and our National Spanish Honor Society for hosting Saborea. It's wonderful to see our school community take advantage of these exciting opportunities.

Enjoy the evening,

Dr. Lowe

Lower School PTO Uniform Swap:

The PTO Uniform Swap room will be open during conferences at the Lower School. Not sure where it is? Head toward the outside gym entrance (glass doors). Go up the stairs and you'll find it. You’re welcome to bring gently used uniforms and swap them out for different sizes or just pick up some items at no cost.

Upper School Financial Aid Night:

The Upper School is hosting a Financial Aid Night next Thursday (10/24) from 5 – 7 p.m. Ed Lane, our Higher Education Access Partner from PHEAA, will be there to answer your questions.

Upper School Clothing Drive

The House of Gantidor is holding a Clothing Drive during conferences. Bring your gently used clothing (of all kinds) and/or uniforms when you come. The clothing will be donated to a local shelter during Kindness Week.

As a reminder, students will only come to school with their parents/guardians during their scheduled conference time. There will be no classes or transportation for students on October 24 or 25, and students will not come to school.

You’ll be impressed to learn what your student(s) have accomplished. We hope you enjoy this time with them!
