ARBOR DAY POSTER CONTEST

As part of the celebration of APG being designated as a "Tree City" by the National Arbor Day Foundation, the Aberdeen Youth Center will sponsor an Arbor Day Poster Contest. We are opening up this event to all youth in grades K-12. We will judge the poster by appropriate grade level groupings. For instance, k-1, 2-3, 4-5,6-8, and 9-12.

Any medium (watercolor, colored pencil, markers, paint, etc) will be accepted for judging. We ask that all work be on a 18 X 24, white poster board.

The theme for the contest is "A Tree Breathes Life". Entries should be submitted to the Aberdeen Youth Center by April 21. Winners will be announced that week and invited to participate in the Installation Commander's Tree planting ceremony on April 29. Winners will be awarded a Commander's Coin and quite possibly donated prizes.

POC for this event is Karen Johnson or Penny Branham at the AA Youth Center, Bldg 2522, Bayside Drive, 410-278-9059/410-278-4995.

    The mission of CYS is to promote readiness by reducing conflict between parental responsibilities and unit missions. We offer care for children from four weeks to teens in full-day, part-day, hourly, before and after school and sports activities. Our goal is to assist your child by promoting his intellectual growth, physical ability and social skills.

    Philosophy
    The staff of APG CYS recognizes that quality child programs are a vital need. We offer children varied opportunities to develop physically, socially, emotionally, aesthetically, intellectually and independently. All staff members are trained to facilitate, support, guide and function as role models to children of all ages on their journey to adulthood.
