ENCHANTED EVENING

November 30, 2012 Log in to ssymca.org for more details!

I hope you enjoyed the summer and had some time to relax and renew your spirit, mind and body. Fall is a great time to renew your commitment to your family’s health and well-being. What better place to do that than at your Y?

At the South Shore YMCA we are dedicated to helping all our members establish lifelong health and fitness habits. Living healthy is about learning to thrive at every age and stage of your life. With that in mind we are excited to offer fitness instruction for children as young as age seven, group exercise classes open to all levels, Active Older Adult classes, and the Partnership Program for physically disabled children and adults.

For those members who are living with Diabetes, Heart or Pulmonary disease, or recovering from surgery, we offer our Structured Exercise Program. We also have personal training and coaching services for any member who has set a goal and needs the help of a professional to reach that goal.

We are here to help you on your journey to better health and believe it’s not about the particular activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of adopting a healthier lifestyle.

Your journey to better health begins at the Y Yours in health, Lisa Gallagher, Senior Health and Well-being Director

About Us: Under the new leadership of Australian Director Tim Mulvihill, the Strypers swim team is committed to making every swimmer matter. Our primary goal is to provide a safe environment for our members and to help them develop the tools they need to grow personally and athletically. We actively promote the four core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. This enables our members to develop in a competitive team environment to be successful in swimming and in life.

Ages: 6–18

Experience: Novice to national level

Locations: Mill Pond and Quincy Branches

Silver Squad – The Silver Squad is the entry of the SSYS program. This training group provides an important transition from water safety to the foundation principles of competitive swimming. The aim of this squad is to master the FUNdamentals of swimming.

Gold Squad – This group is designed to build on the basic skills developed in the Silver Squad. Swimmers in the gold squad will have their stroke technique refined and advanced, will learn to train and wil also be introduced to greater aerobic conditioning.

Age Junior Squad – The Age Junior group transitions swimmers toward the competitive Age Group program. In addition to increased athleticism, swimmers will also learn the importance of training in relation to performance.

Age Group Squad – The Age Group is a highly important developmental training group in the SSYS swimming program. This squad is a

key transition point as swimmers move from a foundation of swimming principles toward the expectations of the senior training program.

Swimmers can expect to be in this group for a number of seasons. A comprehensive dry land program is introduced at this level.

Senior Squad – The Senior Squad in the SSYS program is the second highest level training group available. The aim of this group is to qualify and be highly competitive in New England Swimming YMCA, USA and MIAA Championships meets.

TOP Banana

ARTS & EDUCATION — YOUTH

Top Banana is a unique after-school math program where learning math and having fun go hand in hand. Our approach simply “clicks” with children because it is based on the scientific knowledge of how human memory works. The program teaches the ageless “tricks” for doing math quickly and effortlessly. Instead of the rote memorization of facts, we place the emphasis on breaking a problem into smaller components to devise a solution. Focusing on doing math mentally through logic and reasoning, our one of a kind curriculum turns learning math into playing with numbers. It helps build confidence and self-esteem, learn the practical side of mathematics and embrace critical thinking.

Math Kangaroo

Math Kangaroo is an international schoolchildren competition in mathematics. The contest takes place annually on a third Thursday of March. The competition originally started out in Australia in the 1980’s. In 1991, it came to France where it was dubbed “Math Kangaroo” for the place of its origin. It was brought to the United States 1998. In the United States, 10,000 students in 34 states had participated last March.

The contestants are offered 24 multiple choice questions in grades 2 through 4 and 30 questions in grades 5 and above. The test session is 75 minutes long. Students must be able to work independently. Every student is recognized for participating. The winners and award are announced in May. Top Banana Education Foundation is opening a new Math Kangaroo test center at the Hanover YMCA. To help students better prepare for the competition in March, practice sessions will be offered starting in September.

Grades 3–4 Tues 4:00–5:00 p.m.

Grades 4–5 Sat 9:00–10:00 a.m.

Grades 5–6 Tues 5:00–6:00 p.m.

Germantown Neighborhood Center Since 1982, the Germantown Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been providing critical support services, needed resources, programs and workshops to the youth and families of the Germantown and neighboring communities of Quincy. Located within one of Quincy’s largest public housing developments, the GNC serves a community of mostly low-income, single-parent households and works with support and guidance from the South Shore YMCA to identify and develop strategies to address community needs.

Our youth programs give kids a safe environment where they can grow and learn positive values that they will carry with for a lifetime. Women’s programs are designed to get women out of the house and build relationships with other women who are in the same situation. Childcare and dinner are often provided. Women are encouraged to bring the whole family while mom engages in skill-building workshops with other women. Our food pantry serves residents all over the City of Quincy with food assistance. The Holiday Assistance program lifts a burden off the shoulders of many families during a time that is even more difficult financially.

We are constantly trying to raise more money, add more programs, and do all that we can to help. Our programs and services work toward giving community members the skills, confidence, and resources to take action and improve their lives.
