Grammar School News

Join us in our Year-End Appeal as we aim to raise $50,000 to enhance our school's resources for each campus! This is an exciting opportunity for our community to come together and make a lasting impact on our students' education.

To add to the excitement, we’re offering incredible incentives for both teachers and classes! When you make a donation, please designate your funds to a specific staff member, so that both their class and the staff member can receive fantastic rewards! 



Every contribution counts, and together, we can achieve our goal while fostering a spirit of unity and support within our school. Let’s make this year-end campaign a memorable success for our students and educators! Thank you for your generosity!

After School Care

The Y makes the most of a child’s after school time by offering active learning opportunities designed to engage and expand young minds. Housed in local schools, YMCA After School Care gives children the opportunity to participate in active play and collaborate on fun projects. However, YMCA After School programs are more than child care. They offer a path with a purpose. Students engage in a variety of structured activities that promote positive social interactions, indoor and outdoor play and reinforce academic learning concepts, as well as lessons in empathy, inclusion, and service learning.
