Rob Westerberg wins $200.00 "Granting Wishes" Award

Rob Westerberg, the York High School chorus teacher, won this year's "Granting Wishes" award from YEF.  In late November and early December, parents and students had the opportunity to make a small donation to YEF and simultaneously nominate a teacher that they thought was a shining star in the York School District.  Rob Westerberg was randomly selected as this year's winner, and he received a $200.00 grant from YEF.  Congratulations to Mr. Westerberg and all of the other wonderful teachers that were nominated!

Festival of Fostering Trees

YEF donated a tree this year to the 7th annual Festival of Fostering Trees.  The tree was decorated and adorned with corks as a thematic nod to YEF's annual "Uncorked" fundraiser.  Kim Russell was the lucky recipient who won YEF's donated tree, and she also received two complimentary tickets to YEF's 9th Annual Uncorked fundraiser to be held in 2013.  Congratulations Kim!
