Give Local York
On Friday, May 3, York Catholic will participate in the 2nd Annual Give Local York campaign.  Give Local York is a 24-hour online giving spree to benefit hundreds of York County nonprofits. The goal is simple -- to inspire members of the York County community to show their pride and contribute to the life-changing work of local nonprofits. It's easy to show your support, just visit www.givelocalyork.org on May 3 between 12:00 AM and 11:59 PM EST, search for York Catholic High School, and donate. Your donations will go even further because YC will have the opportunity to take advantage of Stretch Pool funds made available by generous community sponsors. Thank you for supporting our YC students and school on May 3 and throughout the year!

Revised Easter Break Schedule
As a result of the inclement weather and snow days we've used, it was necessary to adjust our Easter schedule to make-up some of the days we missed. Please note the following changes:
 
Friday, April 19
School will be closed.
 
Monday, April 22 (Snow Make-up Day)
School will now be in session for the full day.
Staff Update
For personal reasons, Ms. Sullivan will be on personal leave for the remainder of the school year.  We are currently working on finding a long-term substitute art teacher to complete the school year during her absence.
Earth Day Activities
In honor of Earth Day (April 22), we will have our Earth Day Campus Clean-up on Saturday, April 20, from 9-11 AM at YC.  Students should meet on the front lawn by the main parking lot. We'll be walking around the school grounds cleaning up litter and trash, so good shoes and proper clothing are recommended. Service hours will be given to those who participate. Students do not need to sign-up.  
 
The YC Stewards of the Earth Club are encouraging students to spend a dollar to wear a green shirt in honor of Earth Day on Monday, April 22.  Money will be collected in homeroom and will go towards sponsoring lion cubs. In previous years, students have adopted 2 manatees (2017) and 3 red pandas (2018).  During all lunches Monday, there will be activities and games for students, including voting on names for the lion cubs.  Students get 4 votes for a dollar, and if they're wearing a green shirt, they'll get 4 free votes.  
Congratulate a Senior with a Carnation



Anyone wishing to send a senior a congratulatory carnation may order it during lunch periods from April 23-29, for the cost of $1 each.  Any parent, grandparent, or friend may click here to fill out an order form.  National Honor Society members will distribute the flowers on Friday, May 10 .
