CYHS Students Create, Will Sell "Pink Out" T-Shirts At Tonight's Football Game


Central York High School Business Management students of Mr. Jonathan Hakim created and are selling "PInk Out" T-shirts to generate funds for PINK of York, a local organization that supports breast cancer survivors and raises  funds for medical research and prevention/awareness efforts.



Students will be selling T-shirts at tonight's home football game at Central York High School. Each shirt costs $10 and 50% of all proceeds will be donated to PINK of York.

Middle School Seeks Yearbook Sponsors  


The Panther Pride, the Central York Middle School yearbook, has a new opportunity for community members and businesses to sponsor yearbooks for its students. 



Currently about 60% of the Middle School population purchases a yearbook.  One of the reasons for such a low number is due to economic reasons.  In order to help those students, The Panther Pride is offering community sponsorships.  Individual community members or families may donate yearbooks; it can be anonymous, or they could be listed as a sponsor if desired. 



In addition, there are several levels of sponsorships for businesses; business sponsorships will include advertising space.  Either way, the result is more memories preserved for Middle School students.  If you are interested in sponsoring a yearbook, either as an individual or a business, you can call Mrs. Jennifer Brown at (717) 846-6789 X 1557 or email her at jbrown@cysd.k12.pa.us.

Reminder: Flu Vaccine Clinic in K-6 Schools Planned for Tuesday, October 20
stethoscope_dr_pad.jpg Central York School District will partner with Health Hero PA to offer a voluntary, in-school flu vaccination program for our K-6 students on October 20, 2015.
 
Health Hero is a voluntary flu vaccination program that offers the Flumist nasal-spray immunizations free of charge to students whose parents wish them to receive it during the school-day clinic.

 
Flu is among the top vaccine-preventable illnesses. Per the CDC, 25 to 50 million cases are reported each year in the United States, leading to hospitalizations and in some severe cases, death. Schools and school children have the highest rate of infection.


In the past, the District had been part of a Pennsylvania Department of Health flu vaccination pilot that provided the District with flu vaccines free of charge to offer to our students and community. The state eliminated that program during the 2014-2015 School Year, and the District has looked for alternatives to offer to our students.



This year, we are piloting the Health Hero school-day program with our K-6 buildings. Health Hero has been partnering with schools and providing free flu immunizations to students through voluntary school-day programs for several years.
 
If you wish to learn more about Health Hero, please visit their website at: www.healthherousa.com. If you have any questions or concerns about the District's pilot of this program, please contact us at (717) 846-6789, ext. 1210 or ext. 1292.
