York Suburban Dollars for Scholars is teaming up with the Wellness Committee to host the York Suburban Dollars for Scholars Wellness Day and 5K Run on Saturday, September 7.  The event will be held rain or shine.

The main goal in initiating the event is to promote scholarship and physical well-being. The only fees that will be charged are to run in the 5K, buy a t-shirt, or buy healthy snacks from Whitson’s (at cost, minimal fee of $3).  All other events will be free (sports clinics, health fair, etc.)

Runners are encouraged to register for the  5K  by August 24 for discounted rate and guaranteed t-shirt.  Individuals may register the day of the 5K beginning at 7:45 a.m. on the day of the race.  Registration for sports clinics occur on September 7  on a first come first serve basis.  Participants must bring appropriate swimming gear if planning to attend the swimming clinic.

The first event of the day will be at 8:30 a.m., with the 5K at 9 a.m.  The one-mile fun run and sports clinics will follow.

The high school coaches and players will donate their time for the sports clinics.

(The attached flyer lists the sports clinics and is the official registration form for the 5K.  The flyer and additional information is available at http://www.yorksuburban.dollarsforscholars.org.

School mascots will be there to encourage participants during the warm-up and the one-mile fun for families.

The committee wants to create a place for Suburban families of all ages to come together and take in all that the district has to offer.

DOLLARS FOR SCHOLARS DONATIONS

A donation to York Suburban Dollars for Scholars has been received from Judy Wilson.

Jared Moore, York Suburban Middle School technology education teacher, has received a $1,000 York Suburban Education Foundation (YSEF) grant to purchase a laser engraver for the Applied Engineering and Technology Department.  It will  be available for use by all students in the middle school.

The grant will allow the middle school to continuously access the instrument rather than share with the high school.  The teacher says, “A laser engraver has the ability to transform the mindset of a student with its abilities to create personalized touches on just about any project.”

For a complete list of YSEF grants and how to apply for a grant, go to www.ysef.org.

The traditional placement of York Suburban High School students in homerooms alphabetically by grade level will be a thing of the past when school opens in late August.

Principal Brian Ellis said the homeroom assignments will mix students from each of the four grade levels in the high school and will remain in those homerooms for their entire time in high school.  As seniors graduate from the homeroom, freshman students will be added the following school year.

The principal explained the change is to allow older students to mentor younger students and help them become an active part of school life.  The new format will also allow homeroom teachers to get to know and work with students over four years, rather than one.

The new Advisory Program was designed by a committee of faculty.
