The YMCA of Greater Westfield Preschool has entered its 50^th year of existence this fall and will celebrate this significant milestone with a very special evening event on Tuesday, November 16^th from 7:00-8:30PM. 

We are inviting former students, teachers, administrators and others associated with the YMCA over the years to attend our celebration. The evening program will be a time for reminiscing, reconnection and fun and will be held in the very space where school began for  thousands of children who attended the Y preschool; the YMCA Mansion, located at 67 Court Street.

There will be a photo exhibit, the making of a time capsule, a video and program presentation, and kid friendly games for recent grads and their parents.  Light hors d'oeuvres, refreshments and a giant size birthday cake will be served.

The Y is collecting photos prior to the event to scan for the video presentation. These may be dropped off at the Y, to the attention of Rosann Scalise, Director of Operations.  All photos will be handled with care and returned to their owners.

Also, attendees, if they have a piece of memorabilia from their preschool days that they would be willing to donate, are asked to bring it in the night of the event, for placement in the time capsule.
