LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT School is back in session – an exciting time for many of us. Back to school means back to our routine - which can mean refocusing on our health. Kids get ready for Fall sports such as football, soccer, basketball, and tennis, and get back in the swing of things as they reconnect with their friends in school and before & after school care. For others, back to school can be overwhelming. Family stress can mount with thoughts of purchasing school supplies, clothes, and planning around hectic work and school schedules. Many in Manatee County worry about how they will pay for safe places for their children when school is out, and how to get their kids on track with grade level reading and testing expectations. At the Y, we are committed to making this school year a time when kids realize their potential and discover who they are and what they are able to achieve. We provide safe places for children before & after school and during school breaks, and have an early literacy program for improving reading. Parents can rest easier knowing that they have options for ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ events - all in one place. And at the Manatee YMCA, no one is ever turned away for inability to pay. ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ their future.
