York Suburban Middle School has a long-standing tradition of combining fun and philanthropy. Friday, February 19th and Saturday, February 20th, 285 students, staff, and family members bowled at Laser Alley Fun Center to raise money for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of York County’s Bowl for Kids’ Sake campaign. For more than 20 years, BBBS and YSMS have been partners in helping children through the BFKS “FUNdraising” event. This year 57 teams raised over $19,500 (and growing) for the local organization. On Friday, students could attend the school dance before or after bowling and Saturday bowlers had the option of also enjoying laser tag. Rock and Bowl-themed costumes, door prizes and incentives for teams with the greatest donations added to the festivities.
YSMS has also scheduled its annual Staff vs. Students Basketball Game and Cookie Bake-off for March 15th at 6:00P.M in the school gymnasium. All of the proceeds (donations, cookie sales, snack sales, etc.) should boost the total donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters over $20,000. All YS families are welcome to join in the fun.
