Spreading Holiday Joy & Opportunity: Woodbridge Youth Services Delivers
Holiday Cookie Decorating Party
This was a popular class at Amity Middle School-Bethany on December 8th. Teens became very creative with their decorating designs and even took some cookies home to share with friends or family members. Happy conversations and laughs were shared along with hot chocolate and snacks for a warm holiday event. Woodbridge Youth Services and the Town of Bethany sponsor after-school events.
Woodbridge Volunteer Fire Department Helps Santa Deliver Toys
The Woodbridge Volunteer Fire Department went above and beyond to offer transportation for Santa and Mrs. Claus who delivered some toys to children of Woodbridge families in need. Youth Services is most appreciative of their many efforts.
Local Musician Uses Talent to Collect Toys
Youth Services thanks local drummer Arti Dixson and his friends who collect toys from many who attend performances from Mr. Dixson and other musicians who use their talents to make a difference for those in need. Toys were offered to local families to help provide hope and smiles during the holiday season.
Vaping Prevention
Youth Services invited Tricia Dahl, Research Assistant and Community Educator on Vaping from Yale School of Medicine to offer presentations to each grade at the middle school on December 12th. Students received information about addiction, changes in the brain, and chemicals that may be ingested while vaping. More awareness of the safety concerns allows young people to make better decisions about their health.
