| Be a Part of #GivingTuesday |
 York Catholic will be participating in this year's #GivingTuesday on November 28! In case you haven't heard, the goal of #GivingTuesday is to create a global day of giving back, which celebrates generosity and kindness. YC students give back to the residents of Country Meadows Retirement Community every other week by spending time with them and playing games. It's this long-term service commitment that we recognize on a day like #GivingTuesday.
York Catholic has a goal of raising $15,000 and we really hope you'll be a part of reaching that goal! Please give or give again. All gifts are appreciated no matter the amount. All of the donations received will go towards the 2017-2018 York Catholic Fund.
We hope you're able to join the millions who are making #GivingTuesday the huge success that it is nationwide.

We are thankful for many things at York Catholic. Our students are also very generous when it comes to helping others. To date, students have collected over $1,700 to support Hurricane Relief and the Pregnancy & Family Resource Center. The November mission collection will be our annual food contribution to the Catholic Harvest Food Pantry. Each homeroom is asked to donate a turkey and canned goods for a Thanksgiving dinner to the Food Pantry.
This year, the Food Pantry will be partnering with LifePath Ministries to provide 1,700 dinners to our community. Turkeys of all sizes are needed, as are gift cards to various grocery stores. A list of suggested food items for a Thanksgiving dinner is given below. Items should be stored in each homeroom until the pick-up date on Friday, November 10. Please do not send turkeys to school prior to that date.
Suggestions for donated items for a Thanksgiving dinner:
turkey gravy
boxed stuffing
instant mashed potatoes
boxed desserts
canned vegetables: peas, carrots, corn, green beans, sweet potatoes
cranberry sauce
canned fruit
Jell-o
Thank you for helping to make a family's Thanksgiving dinner a special one this year.

 "You Belong at York Catholic" is the theme being used in our marketing to attract new students. We need you to be a part of it! We're looking for you to share your experience with future YC families and it won't take a lot of your time.
Send us a 20-second (maximum) video that starts with "You Belong at York Catholic because..." For example, Ms. Hoffman recorded hers and she said,
"You Belong at York Catholic because you'll find a great support system that becomes your extended family."
The best videos will be used in upcoming social media posts.
