🍎 Honoring Our Educators: Past, Present, and Future!
🌟Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and we made sure to celebrate the heart and soul of our organization! From a festive appreciation luncheon to daily treats and surprise gifts, it was a week dedicated to saying "thank you" to the people who make our mission possible.
🎯Since our founding in 1908, EDUCATION has been the soil we are planted in.
We are so proud to have a diverse and dedicated team of educators across all our departments:
🧡Early Education: Setting the foundation for our youngest learners.
🧡Youth Education & Prevention: Guiding the next generation toward healthy, bright futures.
🧡Adult Education: Proving that the journey of learning never truly ends.
🧡 Foster Grandparent Program: Our wonderful volunteers who bridge the gap between generations with wisdom and heart.
Our programs have been rooted in education for over a century, but it’s the passion of our current team that keeps us growing. To every teacher, mentor, and volunteer in our halls: You are the difference-makers! From all of us at YW, we thank you for everything you do!
🌟Do you have a favorite YW Educator at YW who has served you or a loved one? Share with us, recent or long-ago, we'd love to hear your stories and see our YW team members get a shout out! Share with us in the comments!
