It's that time of year again when everyone is setting new goals and resolutions, and the Y isn't any exception. This year, we're setting even higher goals for ourselves to make sure we're always going above and beyond our potential. Did you know that setting goals with your child is a great way to boast self-confidence, achievement, and growth? Even setting easily managed goals like making your bed each day, or eating a balanced breakfast can help kids feel a sense of accomplishment first thing in the morning and set them on a path for success for the remainder of the day! We're challenging you and ourselves to set some goals this year! Shooting for the stars is stellar, but for these goals, make sure they're manageable. Once you decide, share them with us so that we can cheer you on, and celebrate with you when you succeed! Don't worry, you got this!

Winter activities
This month we are spotlighting our Afterschool Program participants' CREATIVITY! During free time art, the students decided to start their own businesses and creating products to sell out of paper, taking turns to shop at each store. Thank you to our participants for being such awesome & creative people! We can't wait to see what ideas they'll come up with this month.
happy new year from the y!
