Wow- what a week!!
Elementary classes got a colorful surprise at the end of each of the races, with K and 1st earning some extra color fun for having the top fundraising amounts. Middle school students had a blast watching Mrs. Imoto get a bucket on ice water dumped on her for having the winning class flag, and dancing to the DJ's tunes at the run.
This week we also showed our Tampa Bay Bucs spirit with our first "Raise the Flag" day.
Don't put away your Bucs gear, because next Friday we will Raise the Flag again to cheer on the Bucs as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's Book Fair Time! This year, say hello to eWALLET! Empower students to choose their own books and check out with their very own digital payment account. Book Fair eWallet can be used at the Fair or online. And any leftover funds can be saved for future Fairs! Win-Win! Check out the website for more information!

Mrs. Daniels
Ahoy mates! I am Ms. Jaime Daniels and I'm a 6th Grade Reading Teacher here at York. I am so excited to embark on this inaugural journey here at York Innovation Academy, and look forward to “sailing” into smooth waters during the ’22-’23 school year with you & your child. This is my 18th year teaching here in Hillsborough County. I am a local girl, born and raised in Ruskin to a farming family. I graduated from East Bay H.S, and then I received my Bachelor’s degree in English from Florida Southern College, and my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Argosy University. In my spare time I love to read (anything I can get my hands on), fish, go to the beach, or travel around the world.
