Greetings from the Y! We'd just like to let you know about a few of our upcoming events!
 

Book Drive for Child Care In September

Do you have children's books gathering dust somewhere in your home? Would you be willing to purchase a book to help a child?  During the month of September the Y will have a book drive to support our local Kindergarten through 5th grade child care programs.  Children in child care receive assistance from staff with reading and tutoring in their class work.  Can you help?  Drop off new or gently used books at the welcome desk at your local YMCA and support the programs that help make our community a great place to live.  Why not purchase a copy of YOUR child's favorite book for other children to enjoy? Any book appropriate for elementary aged children is welcome.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

 

Bully Proofing Classstrong kids

This class teaches determination and responsibility by utilizing a series of 10 "Gracie Games" in which we secretly teach the children essential self-defense techniques. By playing the fun and challenging "Gracie Games," children develop strong reflexes in the execution of the basic techniques as they unconsciously learn the foundational principles of leverage and control.

 

Cost: $26 for members; $41 for non-members for a four week session

Ages: 5-14 years
When: 4:15-5:15 p.m., Tuesdays & Thursdays
