Donating Time And Talent

To the Editor:

Newtown Youth & Family Services would like to take the opportunity to express their deep gratitude to Karen Pierce for all the time and talent she has graciously donated to the agency.

Since January, Karen has been volunteering to teach an after school yoga program for middle and high school students. The students have learned relaxation techniques, stress management, and interesting health information all in a manner Karen has carefully tailored to be more interesting for teens. Lessons always end with smiles and laughter, and her students always come back eager for their next class.

The last session was such a success, the students asked for two more classes to be added, to which Karen was eager to agree. Having such a kind and generous person such as Karen is what keeps our agency growing and continues to allow us to provide happy, healthy futures for the youth of our community.
