Students discover what they love through our proprietary curriculum centered around STEM, career-connected learning, arts, literacy, education, and diversity and global learning. Discovering the world is fun and safe with the Y, the experts at helping kids grow and learn in spirit, mind, and body.
Check out our November theme: Thankful Hearts, Helping Hands.
STEM
Flying Birds
In this activity, students will create their own birds and explore the effects of static electricity.
Career-Connected Learning
Giving Back
In this lesson, students will generate ideas about service learning and discuss the benefits of giving back. They will think about how service learning can support them as they look toward their futures. In the spirit of giving back, they will also have a closing activity focused on “self-care.”
