Do you smile when opening a pop-up greeting card? So do we. That is
why we are offering a Pop-up Greeting Card art class for kids
in first through sixth grade. Participants will explore the world of
greeting cards and various techniques used to make them come alive.
These techniques will be applied to a few final cards. Join us on
Jan. 29 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. It's a popping good time! Do you have
a biddy child looking for a biddy ball? The Y has just the program
for you. YMCA Biddy Basketball is a coed program designed to
introduce kids to the exciting game of basketball. Participants will
learn the basic rules and strategies of basketball while having fun.
This program is for kids 4 years through first grade. Practices are
held during the week, and games are on Saturday mornings. Register
before Jan. 28 to avoid any late fees.
The YMCA Preschool Play Days program is looking for
children who are just turning 3 or 4 and need some socialization and
added learning. Stop by the Y office today to register for either
Friends and Fun or Preschool Play Days. Dates and times vary to fit
most any schedule. The Y also offers Toddler Time for the younger
ones who are 2 years of age.
