Numerous junior high students volunteered to participate in the annual Junior High Geography Bee scheduled for Friday, January 18, at 8:30 AM. The junior high attends the event which quizzes students on their general knowledge in United States and world geography. Questions start off as multiple choice, but as the Bee progresses, students must come up with the answer. Each round of questions has a topic, like U.S. cities or geographical terms. At the end of the preliminary rounds, the top 10 scores move on to the final round. At this level, students are eliminated after they get 2 wrong answers, until we are down to 2 final contestants. The final round questions are written and each contestant answers the same question. The winner represents YC at the Diocesan Bee in Harrisburg and takes a written test to qualify for the State Bee. Parents are welcome to attend the Bee on January 18.

Members of the York Catholic community will be travelling by coach bus to the 2019 March for Life in Washington, DC, tomorrow, Friday January 18. The March for Life is the longest running public demonstration in American history. Begun in 1973 in response to the now infamous Roe v Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision decriminalizing and deregulating abortions, the March attracts hundreds of thousands of people committed to reinstating legal protections for unborn children, their parents, as well as newborns with disabilities and preemies. We are looking forward to a great day filled with God's mercy and love!
