Book Buds Field Trip!

Hey everyone.

Yesterday our Book Buds club went on their first field trip! We took a group of 7 students to Bridgeway Pointe. This is an assisted living center connected to Drake Hospital in Hartwell. Our students paired up with a resident or two and read books with them. The room was full of smiles and laughter. Our students enjoyed their visit, and it seemed the residents enjoyed it as well. We will be returning every month to continue the program and further build relationships between the residents and our students. Check out the pictures below from the program!





We would like to send a big thank you to Bridgeway Pointe for having us! Also a big thank you to our volunteers who drove and to those who helped out at the youth center.

Check out the flier below for all the details. Hope to see you there!

Gifts from Munninghoff, Lange & Co.!

The staff and students at Winton Place Youth Center would like to offer a big Thank You to the fine people at Munninghoff, Lange & Co.  Their generosity during this holiday season led them to give WPYC numerous gifts, including board games, basketballs, footballs, Barbies, a toaster-oven, a vacuum cleaner, and a blender.  They gave us our own 12 days of Christmas!  We would like to offer a special Thank You to incomparable Bob Barker, who personally arranged this generous act.  Below, you'll find pictures of our students and staff enjoying the gifts!
