Local Businesses Help Fund Student Grants

Submitted by Jamie Vranich, YSEF

 

The York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) recently received three generous donations from three local corporations that participate in PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. These donations support the district-wide Learning Commons strategic initiative to incorporate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) concepts into the York Suburban curriculum at all learning levels.

Students from the high school,  middle school,  and Yorkshire Elementary were excited to show GIANT Food Stores, Waste Management, and Rutter’s how their contributions were being used in classrooms. For example, EITC contributions provided funds to help incorporate coding, engineering, and design into kindergarten lessons and supported the effort to transform the middle school and high school libraries into flexible learning spaces that allow for collaboration and exploration.
