The first ever Trojan Takeover at York Suburban Middle School (YSMS), held on October 13, was a huge success. The day was not solely about raising money for our school, but also providing fun, team building activities for all grade levels. Students ran relay races, competed in balloon toss, sack races, hill climbs, and tackled many other challenges throughout the course. All of the activities were run by YSMS Student Council members who were in charge of creating and organizing the events for the day.
York Daily Record reporters Maddie Crozinski and Jason Plotkin arrived to report on the day using Facebook Live, and we were even featured on ESPN SportCenter Friday Funnies.
Overall, the Parent Student Organization (PSO) and the YSMS Student Council combined their efforts to deliver the students a fantastic, fun-filled event. Our fundraising grand total exceeded $15,000. YSMS would like to send a huge thank you to all who donated, contacted friends and family to donate, and volunteered to help for this event.
