The 2017-18 school year has come to an end! The MYC Youth Council finished up in June with a demonstration led by Sarah Freeman. The demonstration was of a game called, “Zombie Tag.” The point of the demonstration was to spread awareness and teach kids how to be inclusive of children who have autism while playing with one another! Sarah explained to the kids the importance of notifying the child’s parent and/or guardian of the game as they usually know the comfort levels and triggers of their child with autism. Overall, the kids received lots of helpful information that they can spread to their family members, friends and peers! At their last Youth Council meeting, members decided to head over to Simply Orthodontics, Milford to support one of our local business and neighbors! Simply Orthodontics held their Summer Kickoff Extravaganza, where there was free ice cream, face painting, chalk drawing, crafting, coloring, music, costume photo props and more!
Now that it is summer vacation time, the MYC Youth Council members are also on break! While they will reconnect over the summer during the telethon, group time will be severely missed! However, we do have next year! Keep an eye out for the MYC Youth Council members during the telethon! Some will help host, others will volunteer throughout the day. If you can, swing by Milford TV-our site and TV host for the telethon! There will be fun activities going on and of course, there will be food! The telethon will be held on Saturday, September 15th! Tune into Milford TV to view! Keep an eye out for times and channels!
