The Y is Here to Help You Prepare for Back to School!

August is National Back to School Month. To prepare, the Shiawassee Family YMCA is sharing three ways you can make sure your back-to-school season is a success!
Enroll in Learning Zone or Boxcar Before and Afterschool Programming Today
When school is out, the Y is in! In honor of National Back to School Month, the Y wants to remind you of our before and afterschool programming. The staff at both our Owosso and Durand locations are there to ensure your child is taken care of before and after their school day! Visit our website to learn more. 
Communicate Routines and Expectations
The Y wants your family to be prepared for back-to-school season! Here is a friendly reminder to make sure you have everything on your child's classroom supply list, reset those summer bedtimes well before the big day and communicate any changes in routine with the entire family. Here are some helpful back-to-school parent tips from both the Department of Education and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's to a happy, healthy and safe back-to-school season!
Help Our Schools & Students Stock Up!
From crayons to notebooks, many classrooms, and the students who fill them, are in need of school supplies this time of year! In celebration of National Back to School Month, the Shiawassee Family YMCA invites you to donate an extra something to your child's classroom or you can donate to our Learning Zone and Boxcar programs. We can always use extra supplies and snacks!
