Youth 360 - Seward

Cheer Camp wrapped up at the Homecoming game, and these kids earned every bit of that post-game photo. 😂🌧️

It was absolutely pouring, they were completely drenched, and they still showed up with huge energy and smiles.

Youth360 was happy to help support this opportunity and make it a little easier for local kids to participate. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make Cheer Camp happen, and to these kids for proving that a little Seward weather wasn’t going to stop them. 💙

🎨 Youth360 Family Art Classes are back for another school year!

For the past four years, Youth360 has partnered with Ms. Justine at The Painted Whale to offer free monthly Family Art Classes throughout the school year. These Sunday afternoons are all about giving kids and the grown-ups in their lives a chance to slow down, create something together, and have some fun.

Classes are free, designed for ages 5 and up, and no art experience is needed. If you’ve never joined us before, this is a great year to start!

Check out the flyer for our fall dates and projects. We hope to see lots of familiar faces and plenty of new ones too! 🎨✨

💛 Thank you, moms! 💛

We had a fantastic turnout for our first Mornings with Mom at Seward Middle/High School this morning!

It was wonderful to see so many moms, caregivers, and students spending a little extra time together before starting the school day. ☕🍩

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and helped make our first event such a great one. Creating opportunities for families to connect with their kids and feel at home in the school is exactly what these mornings are all about.

We’re already looking forward to the next one, Dads we'll see you on Oct 7th 💛

📣 Middle School Lunch Volunteers Needed!

We’re looking for a few awesome community members to spend some time with our 7th & 8th graders during lunch at Seward High School! 💛

Middle School lunch runs from 12:11–12:41 PM, and volunteering is simple: show up, hang out with students, help create a positive atmosphere, and be another caring adult in their school day.

You don’t need a special skill or activity planned. Sometimes the biggest impact is simply being there, talking with kids, playing a game, and helping students feel connected to their community.

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Sign up for one lunch or come regularly. Every little bit helps!

👉 Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0944A5AB2FA1F4C61-50898621-seward #/

Come have lunch with our middle schoolers! 🍎
