September Is Childhood Obesity Awareness Month

Erin Whitten

September holds a unique position on the calendar. Not only does it mark the onset of a fresh academic year for many children and their families, but it also observes Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. As the pages of the calendar flip and new routines emerge, let's join hands with our community members to ensure the well-being of families, championing a lifestyle where health is paramount.

Summer Social was a Hit

The Pickleball Report

The West Suburban YMCA has been an integral part of the Pickleball community in Newton for years, with three courts available at the Church St location and now an additional 6 courts available at the new Wells Ave location. We love how passionate, dedicated, and welcoming the Y's pickleball players (picklers) are, and can see through their active involvement why we are called "The Pickleball Hub".
