BACK TO SCHOOL

Before and After School Care - Fall is fast approaching; we are currently enrolling for our Before and After School care held at Carrollton, Hardy, Westside, and Windsor Elementary Schools.  Let our highly trained staff care for your child at their school in our licensed program.  Stop by the Welcome Center to pick up a brochure or download one by clicking here.

New Middle School Program - Middle School is an exciting time for kids, but it can also be a challenging time.  Working parents are often not ready to leave their 12 and 13 year old youth on their own after school.  The Luter Y has the solution!  The YMCA middle school program will have time alloted for homework, swimming, exercise, sports, games, volunteerism and leadership.

BRIGHT BEGINNINGS
blue girlEvery child deserves to start school with confidence.  Bright Beginnings ensures that children in need are able to start the school year off right with new school supplies and clothes.  Volunteers and children shop together in an outing that leaves everyone feeling fulfilled.  The goal this year is to serve 60 children in Isle of Wight County.

Would you like to help?  A donation of $150 will help a child start off the school year with a Bright Beginning.  For more information on donating or volunteering, please contact Connie Chapman.

 

Be a Bright Beginnings Back Pack Buddy.  It's easy!  Select a durable backpack, fill it with school supplies, and return to the Y by August 5th.
