NEWSFLASH! Our amazing Instructor Annie Donovan and her awesome Emilson Y aquafit community made front page news today in The Patriot Ledger for Annie's incredible work in building a community based on connection, generosity and friendship, who all support one another in healthy living. Annie has fought through a cancer diagnosis and never gives up in bringing her best to class to help others grow stronger together. Her class community keeps growing, getting together to raise funds to support Y causes like Staystrong cancer support and Hope for the Holidays. Thank you Annie for all you do, and congratulations! Thanks to Sue Scheible for the great story! https://lnkd.in/epx7f8gS #aquafit #wateraerobics #ssymcagroupexercise #ssymcastaystrong #strongertogether #spiritmindbody #patriotledger #emilsonymca

On Friday State Representative Joan Meschino and her team visited with our South Shore YMCA staff to discuss the needs of her constituents in Hull, Hingham, and Cohasset, and how the Y can help those communities grow. Rep. Meschino joined us to tour the South Shore Natural Science Center, including the construction of the new Nature Center Preschool building, the Emilson YMCA Outdoor Aquatic Center, and the South Shore YMCA Family Farm. We thank Rep. Meschino for her keen insights and thoughtfulness in finding ways for us to create a stronger South Shore. #community #strongertogether #southshoreymca

Congratulations to South Shore YMCA Gymnastics Team member Summer who placed 22nd this weekend at the YMCA National Championships. Summer has been doing gymnastics at our Y since she was four years old, and just competed in her final meet as a team member. We wish her all the best as she starts her next chapter next year at Brandeis University! #ymcagymnastics #southshoreymca #ymcanationals #gymnasticsatthey

Our growing Aquafit community held its first annual Summer Aqua Luncheon this month, and it was a huge success! Participants had a fabulous time connecting and socializing, and together collected over $540 to our Send a Kid to Camp campaign! A great way to see everyone in their red, white and blue to kickoff the start of summer and Flag Day. An extra shout out to Pat for the beautiful centerpieces. Thanks to our beloved instructor, Annie, for bringing this wonderful group together, and to all our amazing Aquafit instructors and members! Your generosity will help make camp a reality for more kids this summer. #aquafitness #aquafit #ssymcasendakidtocamp #sendakidtocamp #spiritmindbody #southshoreymca #emilsonymca #halefamilyymca #aquafitinstructors

On June 19th we celebrate #Juneteenth, honoring the day that the news of freedom reached the last enslaved people in America in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the commitment to create lasting positive change together. #YForAll #FreedomDay

The South Shore Y is proud of our Early Learning Center preschoolers who graduate from our program this month. Our three preschool programs, SSYMCA State Street Early Learning Center in Quincy, SSYMCA Nature Center Preschool in Norwell, and SSYMCA Early Learning Center in Hanover, all held special moving up ceremonies for these young graduates and their loved ones to attend. Check out ssymca.org/earlylearning for more information on our programs which serve hundreds of children throughout the school year. Interested in becoming an early education professional? The Y is looking for caring individuals to become teachers.

Thank you to Thomas Jung and our partners at Webster Bank for engaging students at the South Shore YMCA afterschool program through an interactive presentation that introduces kids to financial literacy skills. Helping students learn about finances early helps empower them to build a strong financial future.
