The YMCA and the St. Agnes have been partnering on a variety of projects which provides some great opportunities for our families and parish!  Check out what’s coming up:

YMCA Day Camp at St. Agnes (July 31-August 11):  YMCA will host a traditional day camp at St. Agnes.  New experiences, skill-building, a sense of community and friendship are all part of traditional Youth Summer Day Camp. Campers explore a different theme each week. Activities include arts and crafts, science and technology, swimming, field trips, nature and more. Campers will build self-confidence, appreciate teamwork and sportsmanship while gaining independence as they nurture their spirits, challenge their mind and strengthen their bodies. Kids can explore a variety of interests and have fun along the way.  Click here for more information and to register.

YClub After-School Club at St. Agnes (every day after school, starting August 22):  The YClub offers a safe, exciting and convenient option for after-school care at St. Agnes.  The students who participate will have plenty of active play, homework time (if you choose) and other activities incorporated as part of their time after-school.  Click here for more information and to register.

These are great opportunities for our parish and school community!  We are grateful for the partnership and know the students will benefit.

The enthusiasm is building! The students are excited to see their friends, parents are excited to see their kids go back to school and the teachers are ready for a new school year!

On Sunday, August 20, plan to kick off the school year.  After noon  mass, you can plan to bring your school supplies and meet your teacher.  Then don’t forget to visit the volunteer fair in the gym…there are a ton of ways to get involved and help make our school successful.  Finally, you’ll need some ice cream after all that work…the Dad’s Club is hosting the ice cream social outside.

It’s going to be a great school year!  Join us!
