STRIKING THE RIGHT NOTE
In celebration of National Arts and Education Week, we’re proud to highlight the incredible accomplishments of three Eastern York students!

Congratulations to Braelyn Miller (Eastern York High School, Grade 9), who was selected for a violin seat in the York Youth Symphony Orchestra (YYSO) for the 2026–27 season!

We also recognize Alexander Eveler (Violin, Eastern York Middle School, Grade 6) for earning a place in the York Junior Symphony Orchestra (YJSO), and Emma Eveler (Cello, Kreutz Creek Elementary School, Grade 4) for being selected for the York Junior Symphony Orchestra Preparatory String Orchestra (YJSO Prep).

All three of these ensembles — YYSO, YJSO, and YJSO Prep — require a successful audition, making this an outstanding achievement. We are so proud of these Golden Knights for representing Eastern York with their talent, dedication, and love for music. It's a great DAY to be a KNIGHT!

NEW STRIPES, LOCAL PRIDE: OLD GLORY IS NEW AGAIN 🇺🇸

For more than 13 years, an American flag has hung at the end of the Social Studies hallway at Eastern York High School, serving as a daily symbol of patriotism.

Early this school year, the Social Studies Department noticed the longtime flag had begun to fade and started looking for a replacement. That search led to Allegiance Flag Supply and a pretty neat local connection: H&H Castings Inc., located right here in the Eastern York community, manufactures mounting brackets used with Allegiance flag kits.

Through its “Flag for Every Classroom” program, Allegiance generously donated a beautiful 6' x 10' American flag for the EYHS hallway. We’re grateful to Allegiance for the generous donation and proud to see a little local connection woven into the story! 🇺🇸

WRIGHTSVILLE HISTORY RETURNS HOME 🇺🇸

In the year following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Wrightsville Elementary students and staff came together to create something special.

At the suggestion of teacher Kelly Townsley, the school created an American flag made from paper links. Each individual link carried the name of a student or staff member at Wrightsville Elementary in the fall of 2002.

The flag was presented to The Honorable Todd Platts, who was serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives when the attacks of September 11 occurred. It would go on to hang in his Washington, D.C. office during his time in Congress.

Today, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Judge Platts, who now serves in Pennsylvania’s 19th Judicial District, returned to Wrightsville Elementary to bring the flag back to what he described as its rightful home. Making the moment even more meaningful, Ms. Townsley is one of three staff members from that time who are still serving the Wrightsville Elementary community today.

We are grateful to Judge Platts for preserving this special piece of Wrightsville’s story for so many years and for bringing it home for future generations to see and appreciate.
