York Catholic Fund
Supports YC Students |
Did you know that York Catholic graduates are college and career ready? The Class of 2020 has 97% of students who are continuing on to higher education! An additional 1% are going into military service, while 2% are going directly into the workforce. Over $11 million in college scholarships were awarded with 71% earning scholarships.
The current students who are enrolled in York Catholic are just as impressive. The quality education we are able to offer to our students is because of alumni, parents, and community members like yourselves! Your help supports YC's long tradition of a values-based education that guides our students to develop personal integrity, make good choices, and serve the greater good in their own communities and beyond.

In honor of our students, we ask you to prayerfully consider giving to our York Catholic Fund. This fund not only supports every student by enriching extra-curricular programs and music and the arts, but also provides professional development for teachers, academic program support, athletic programs, technology, special projects, and covers operating expenditures. This year, we have a fundraising goal of $300,000 by
June 30, 2020.
Every gift, whatever the amount, counts and is truly valued. Please use the return envelope that was included in your Spring issue of
Greensleeves or click on the Make a Difference button below to use our online donation page.
As always, thank you for your continued support of YC!

| Yearbook Pictures for Rising Seniors |

All senior yearbook photos must be taken by Prestige Portraits by Lifetouch. Pictures from any other photographer cannot be accepted for the yearbook.
Senior parents will be receiving mailed information from Prestige Portraits by Lifetouch with instructions regarding guidelines and the scheduled date and time of your student's senior picture in the air conditioned YC cafeteria (photo dates are August 17 and 18). Please arrive prior to your scheduled appointment so you are ready for your assigned time. If you do not receive a postcard by August 1, please call Lifetouch at 1-800-445-1189.
Every senior must get their picture taken, however, seniors are under no obligation to purchase the photo. If desired, students can purchase yearbook photo packages from Lifetouch. Lifetouch contributes a portion of package purchases back to York Catholic.
Please observe the following guidelines regarding appearance for photos. All gentlemen must be clean shaven and wear a dress shirt, tie, and sport coat or suit jacket. Hair must be regulation length. No piercings are allowed. Ladies will be provided with a black shoulder drape for photos. Only necklaces and earrings are allowed for the yearbook picture of the young women.
