Each month we thank an individual, business and /or organization who supports our efforts. This month we would like to extend an extra thank you to Sam, Hannah and Jacque of the Milford Town Library!
During the MYC after-school program, Sam runs a weekly book club. She has worked with our Assistant Director to carefully choose books that are age-appropriate and fitting for each month’s important acknowledgements. Because many of the MYC after-school members also spend time at the library, she has preexisting relationships with many of the children, which encouraged children to join in the book club.
Aside from Sam’s weekly commitment to the Center, she also volunteers at MYC special occasions. During our MYC Thanksgiving Meal we have yearly for the after-school members, Sam ran a craft table!
New this year to our summer camp, Sam, along with Hannah and Jacque, visit the MYC on Monday mornings to talk to the campers about the library’s passport summer project, which encourages activity, reading and responsibility in which the children can earn stickers for completed tasks. For each sticker, they are allowed to vote for what they would like to be added to the library entirely for the youth’s use! Also, this summer, we have scheduled out a few Fridays for the campers and staff to walk to the library for various organized activities.
The MYC truly appreciates this growing, ongoing community relationship. You are all truly amazing!
