Heart & Sole at Patton!

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine is excited to start a new chapter of its middle school program, Heart & Sole, at Patton this fall! This program, headed by Patton parent Sue Holinsky, begins the week of September 19 and ends with our 5K event on Saturday, December 3 in Downingtown. Our team is planning on meeting every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:20 - 4 pm at Patton. Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond.

The Heart & Sole curriculum is rich with themes girls can relate to, addressing the whole girl—body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection—and building important life skills such as team building, developing a support system, boundary setting, decision making, asking for and providing help and more.

Use this link for a Heart & Sole registration flyer as well as a coach recruitment flyer - we are in need of at least two more coaches to have the program run. Parents and staff members make excellent coaches!

Spring Mural!

This Spring a mural grew in the art room hallway! Students in the Art After School Program started a chain reaction by painting mural pieces that represented their interests and hobbies. The young artists created original designs in the style of Matisse's paper cutouts. After completing their individual piece the group worked together to frame the bulletin board with multi colored Sun flowers. Kriti Gupta chose to use the Hawk Mascot as her inspiration and painted several Hawks in flight. Kids in the Art Club on Friday afternoon added their special touch by painting rainbow ribbons trailing from the Hawks. The finishing touches were glued on by students in regular Art classes. They completed the mural by filling in spaces with mosaic tiles and glass bubbles. We love the end result! See all the photos right here!
