| Mission Collection: Leiser Scholarship |
Our final mission collection during homeroom on Wednesday, May 8, will be donated to the Stephen M. Leiser Memorial Scholarship Fund. This is a scholarship that a member of the senior class of 2019 will receive for their education at a college or vocational/technical school.
Mr. Leiser was a dedicated science teacher at York Catholic for 23 years, and had a great influence on many of his senior students. He battled cancer during his last year of teaching, and passed away in 2007. Mr. Leiser's family created the Stephen M. Leiser Scholarship in his memory and usually attends the senior awards assembly to personally present this award. Please help to keep Mr. Leiser's spirit alive by your contribution to this mission collection.

 Jaden Templeton completed his participation in YCAL's 2018-2019 Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Program hosted by Kinsley. Jaden was part of the team who won Best Build honors for small house construction! The program is designed for high school seniors who are considering pursuit of an apprenticeship in a construction-related trade after graduation. The course takes place from September to April, offering several on-site training opportunities, engagement and career exploration sessions, and a series of hands-on practicum sessions where students will work with current apprentices and instructors to complete a project that will allow them to put their new skills to work.
