The Turn Around Award goes to a senior who has demonstrated notable growth and a visible turn around over the course of their high school career. The award is sponsored by The Bowling Proprietors of York, and seniors from area schools both public and private compete for the scholarship. Our York Catholic representative this year is senior Bruce Lenon-Mixco. Eight classmates from the class of 2020 wrote personal essays, competing for the honor, and a panel of faculty members read and reviewed all eight, selecting Bruce. We wish Bruce luck as he moves forward in the competition. Bruce is the son of Alfredo and Karen Lenon, and hopes to study history at Mount St. Mary's University.

The Stovers have been busy the past two days sewing buttons on headbands for the healthcare workers to help take the pressure off their sore ears.
So far they've made around 50 headbands and have another 50 to make.
