New Principal for the 2023-2024 School Year
It has been a great year serving as the assistant principal for York Elementary School, and I am thrilled to be moving into the principal role next year. I have thoroughly enjoyed connecting with students and families, and I love working with a staff that focuses on every kid, every day.
My husband, Aaron, and our four kids, Henry, Noah, Evelyn, and Simon, love this community, and we love York Elementary School! I truly believe it is a special place where the staff is positive, energetic, and student-centered, and the students are top-notch! Y.E.S is a great place to be!
I am excited for the 2023-2024 school year and the great things ahead for York Elementary School!

Girls on the Run Needs Coaches for Fall at YES
It’s time to show up for the next generation! Girls on the Run needs dedicated coaches to build confidence and character in girls at York Elementary next fall.
Not a runner? No problem! Coaching a GOTR team is about WAY more than running. It’s about teaching third- through fifth-grade girls valuable life skills like teamwork, communication and goal-setting as they train for a 5K run/walk.
Help young girls put their best foot forward with our transformational social-emotional learning program. GOTR provides coaches with the supplies and easy-to-deliver curriculum so YOU are confident in delivering the program.
The overall time commitment for first-time coaches is about 36 hours over 16 weeks. That includes 2 hours of online training modules; an in-person meeting in August (dates/locations vary), 20 meetings with your team during the season (late August to early November); CPR/First Aid certification, if required (one coach per site must be certified); and 5K day.
Coaches need to be confirmed by June 30 in order to host a program next school year, so complete the New Coach Application today or visit www.GOTRNebraska.org to learn more.
