Youth Guidance To Reward Good Grades And Provide Polo Shirts To Their Youngsters August 13, 2011

Put on your swimsuits and help celebrate the summer and the Youth
Guidance children’s hard work during the Good Grades Pool Party on
August 13, 5:30-8:00pm. The yearly event, held at the Gifford Aquatic
Center, 4895 43rd Avenue, Vero Beach, will bring all the Youth Guidance
youngsters together to recognize and award them for their grades. Over
150 volunteers are needed for a late afternoon of pizza, swimming, prizes
and poolside games! The Youth Guidance students look forward to this
event all year long and it is a great motivator so that the children will strive
to do their best in school. The children will be given accolades for their
good (straight A’s or A/B honor roll) and/or improved grades. The
students with the greatest improvements and straight A’s will also receive
other acknowledgements including a luncheon sponsored by the Exchange
Club of Vero Beach. Youth Guidance is also holding their Polo Shirt
Drive and children will be able to pick up their polos at the pool party. The
annual Polo Shirt Drive is held in order to help every child start school with
a new shirt. Polo shirts are accepted until August 12 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. 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.
Every size (children and adult) is needed. Community members may also
donate gift cards or funds to purchase additional polos for the children of
Youth Guidance. For more information call the Youth Guidance office at
772-770-5040 or visit the Youth Guidance website, www.ircyouth.com. Youth
Guidance is actively seeking sponsors to underwrite the pool party. Sponsors
get recognition in flyers, newsletters, email blasts and on banners!
