Boosterthon news
Admiral Parents,
Our Boosterthon fundraiser is kicking off in just a week, and we are thrilled about this year’s program! We’ve asked the experts at Boosterthon to power our program, making our fundraising simpler, more profitable, and more fun. Our program includes EVERY student in a fun, fitness event that focuses on character while helping our school raise much-needed funds. The program begins 9/15/22 and culminates with our FUN RUN on 9/23/22.
Here’s how you can support our school:
- Register your student on mybooster.com by searching for our school. Then, use mybooster.com to log pledges for your child. Registration is open TODAY!
- Reach out to sponsors. Every student’s goal is to connect with 10 sponsors. And with mybooster.com’s smart sharing features, reaching out to sponsors is easier than ever. The easiest way to get pledges is to simply click the Facebook share button on your student’s pledge page. Plus, with a few clicks you can create a custom Student Star video to share on social media. You can also use the Easy Emailer to connect with friends and family. As you gather pledges, be sure to record each sponsor’s e-mail address so they have the opportunity to easily pay for your student’s pledge online via credit card.
- Ask your child about the Grand Land Adventure Character Lesson of the day! Join along by watching the fun character videos with your child on mybooster.com.
Admiral on Deck
Mrs. Casey
Hi! I'm Beth Casey, and this is my 25th year teaching! I have taught mostly 4th and 5th grade, but this will be my second year teaching 6th grade math. I have a passion for math and love to instill that passion in my students by building their skills and confidence! I am a proud graduate of the University of Florida and mom to two children: Sarah, a freshman at UF and Jon, a sophomore at Middleton High School's Academy of Game Design. In my free time, I enjoy playing games, watching movies and baking. I love all holidays and punny jokes (the cornier the better). I am so excited to be a York Admiral and look forward to an amazing year!
