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!

New beginnings
We had many awesome kids of the week be highlighted throughout the year. The last 2025 kid of the week we will like to give a big shout out is to Kleo V.! Kleo is a kiddo who is incredibly helpful and their caring nature shines through in everything she does. Kleo is a kiddo who can always be counted on to do the right thing , even when no one is watching. Thank you Kleo for being someone we can always count on! Congrats Kleo and all our 2025 kids of the week! -Miss Elizabeth
happy new year from the y!
