My Y Story

Shirley has been a member at the Y since she was in her twenties. After the recent loss of her husband, she found herself struggling to smile and enjoy the things that she had normally loved to do. After becoming more involved with wellness programs, she eventually joined the Y staff team.

Four year old Summer started coming to the preschool sports classes at the Y this winter. She has participated in Super Soccer, two sessions of Tot Tumbling, T-ball, and Mini Ninja Kids. She started out as a shy and hesitant participant at first and she has changed as she progressed through each program.

Caden Dunlap enrolled in the SACC program in March, which is fairly late in the school year. As a kindergarten student whose family had recently moved from Florida to Pennsylvania, it was not surprising that he was experiencing some difficulty with following directions and behaving properly.
