Make a huge splash with the Youth Guidance youngsters at the Good
Grades Pool Party on August 11, 5:30-8:00pm, at the Gifford Aquatic
Center, 4895 43rd Avenue, Vero Beach. This annual event brings together
volunteers, teens and children to recognize and reward those enrolled in
Youth Guidance for their good and/or improved grades. Cool off with the
kids during a late afternoon of swimming, poolside games and pizza. Over
150 volunteers are needed to celebrate the students’ hard work and enjoy
the long days of summer. The party is a great incentive so that the children
will strive to do their best in school all year long. Youth will be given
accolades for their good (straight A’s or A/B honor roll) and/or improved
academics, conduct and attendance. The students with the greatest
improvements and straight A’s will also receive other honors including a
luncheon sponsored by the Exchange Club of Vero Beach. In addition,
Youth Guidance is holding their Polo Shirt Drive and children will be able
to pick up their polos at the pool party. In order to help every child start
school with a new shirt, Youth Guidance has their Polo Shirt Drive each
year. Polos are accepted until August 9 at the Youth Guidance office, 1028
20th Place, Vero Beach. Office hours are Monday-Thursday, 9-5pm, Friday,
9-1pm and closed on the weekend. Every size (children and adult) is
needed. Donations of navy blue or white, long or short-sleeved collared
shirts for kids in grades K-12, preferably new and without a logo or
emblem, would be appreciated. Donations of gift cards or funds will also be
accepted to purchase additional polos for the children in Youth Guidance. CONTACT: Youth Guidance office at 772-770-5040 or visit the Youth Guidance website, www.ircyouth.com
