Golf Tournament Success
This past Monday, nearly 100 golfers, volunteers, and staff came together for York Catholic's 29th Annual Golf Tournament at the Out Door Country Club in York. 

Our profits beat all of our previous tournaments, coming in over $12,000! The money raised from this fun-filled day benefits the York Catholic Fund, which works to close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student, give tuition assistance to those in need, enhance our curriculum, and provide technology resources for all students, as well as improve the safety of our school. Thank you to all who helped us "tee off" another great year at York Catholic!

A very special Thank You to our Major Sponsors:
Stewart Companies, Giambalvo Family of Dealerships, Kirby-Smith Associates, Inc., Brewery Products, Winfosoft, Inc., Martin's Snacks, Longview Financial, Chick-Fil-A East York.

Chromebook Cases - Adjusted Link
In last week's Irish Eye e-newsletter, we provided a link to Chromebook cases for all students.  Please note the link for the 11th and 12th grade Chromebooks is now redirecting to a different cover.  The link has been corrected below.  Limited quantities seem to be available on Amazon, presumably because the model is discontinued.  
 
If your student wishes to purchase a Chromebook case, the IT department has approved the following cases, available on Amazon.  Families wishing to purchase these cases on their own may do so.  Please note only the cases linked below will be acceptable for the YC student Chromebooks.
 
For Asus model C300s: 11th and 12th grades students
 
For Asus model C423: 10th grade students
 
For Asus model C202: 8th and 9th grade students:
