Using fifth grade math concepts that included multiples, factors, prime numbers and problem solving, Mrs. Crumbling’s classes at Indian Rock Elementary solved clues in order to “escape” from 5 different “rooms.” Working in teams, the students unscrambled math vocabulary words, calculated double-digit multiplication problems and used a variety of higher level thinking skills and problem solving strategies. Tensions were high as the students frantically tried to solve all of the clues before the clock ran out. Two teams managed to “escape” with minutes to spare. One student exclaimed, “This is the most fun I ever had in math class!” In fact, they were having so much fun, they didn’t realize that they were learning!

The York Suburban School District is looking for donations of gently used instruments that would help with beginner instrument students.  We have many students who would like to start playing an instrument but do not have the means to obtain the instrument.  ANY help would be greatly appreciated!  Let’s help get an instrument in these students’ hands.  Any questions can be guided to Ashley Markey at amarkey@yssd.org.

Donations will be accepted at any of the district building offices.  THANK YOU.
