YCS Power of YOUth presents: #GiveASmile Gratitude Banner
Our first effort with YCS Power of YOUth is to publicly thank some of the essential workers in the Ypsilanti Community. We decided to personally thank the essential workers from our community who work hard and take risks so that the majority of us can buy food and have what we need. We chose to begin with grocery store workers. Our community will design a banner that will be displayed in local Kroger stores to express to the workers that we appreciate them, that we see them, and that we value them. This is a fun activity that offers families, siblings, and students an opportunity to create something for others.
Along with our very own YCHS students, we have created a way to support and show appreciation to workers in our Ypsilanti Community. We want to use artwork done by the community and our students to create banners and post them in Kroger stores in Ypsilanti.
