November:
Without the support of these partners, programs like this wouldn't be possible!
As we move into November, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for our incredible staff & families who make our programs so special. Fall has been a busy season of growth, learning, & connection across our Early Childhood, Afterschool, & Teen programs. Our Afterschool teams have established strong routines, our preschool classrooms are completing assessments & holding parent-teacher conferences, & our Teen program participants are already finding creative ways to give back to their communities. A heartfelt thank you to all the families who participated in our Fall Festival & our Savers Donation Fundraiser, your support is so greatly appreciated. As we enter this season of giving thanks, I want to recognize the continued dedication of our staff and families; the impact we make each day truly strengthens our community & reflects the mission and heart of the YMCA. Rhonda Clark, Regional Director Parent Resource: Start a Family Gratitude Jar! Each evening, have family members write one thing they’re thankful for and add it to the jar. Read them together at the end of the month or on Thanksgiving to celebrate kindness and connection.

No program on November 26th-28th. Happy Thanksgiving! School's Out Camp is available November 26th. If you are new to our program, welcome! We meet in the cafeteria right after school, or in room D18 when the cafeteria is not available. Make sure to join our Classdojo, where I will be posting any announcements and updates! A link will be sent to you shortly after I receive your registration. Feel free to reach out if you need it again!
THANK YOU!
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
Did you know that, every week, our YMCA programs engage in activities designed to reinforce learning and lessons that take place during the school day? Playing with Legos is exciting, but it also builds cognitive development as kids try to build the tallest structure they can. Art projects are fun, but we're also learning all about primary colors, and how to mix and match different hues to find something new! Group games are energetic, but we're also teaching kids to be team players and cheer for others even when it's tough. Our staff spend hours each week preparing activities that your kids will not only enjoy, but that will also challenge them to reach their fullest potential! Ask you child(ren) what their favorite activities are at the Y and let our staff know so that they can plan more! When learning is fun, minds are engaged!
WE'RE SO thankful that YOU'RE HERE!

This past month, we have been experimenting with different activities and learning about what interests us! So far, art club has been our biggest success. We've been making a big family of clay creatures, as seen in the photo! Coming up next, coding and STEM! We are so excited to see what our teen club creates this month.
