PATRIOT PREP CAMP

On July 11, the Youth Service Bureau was able to set up a table at the fairgrounds during Kids Day for Patriot Prep Camp! At this table, we provided laminated activity binders for preschoolers going into kindergarten to take home and prepare them for kindergarten. These binders included the alphabet, skills with counting to 20, rhyming sheets, color matching, and so much more! We were able to distribute 75 binders to the Jay County community! We also provided children books and different type of flashcards, and Play-Doh that children were able to do an activity with at the table and then take home the Play-Doh home.

We’re so happy to hear great responses from those who participated in the program!

"I just wanted to say thanks to you and your organizations!!! My daughter absolutely loved her flash cards and took them to the sitter’s this morning with her (we have other sets at home but this was HER new special set). The laminated activities in the binder, play-doh and BOOK was all so Very nice!! We LOVE to read!! We read that while at the fair and she was playing with the play-doh during the magic show."
