Arizona Youth Partnership Conference
Parents, are your kids bored yet? We need kiddos ages 10-17 this Friday from 9:30-3:00 PM! Arizona Youth Partnership is sponsoring a Youth Conference! We would hate to lose this opportunity for our students! Kids will be learning about illegal substances and life skills. They will be playing a real life version of the game of LIFE, Mouse Trap is another game, as well as becoming detectives in the game of CLUE! In CLUE, students are given the role of inspectors collecting clues to which substances the person may have been taking before they went missing or had an incident.
There will also be Judge Dave Orzell and Mayor Curtis Stacy who will be guest speakers along with some of our Kearny Police Officers.
Lunch will be provided by Old Time Pizza and snacks will be given throughout the day. Students will receive a really cool bag and lanyard to keep and some chances for some great door prizes and raffle items!
Please email Emilia at emilia@azyp.org. Emilia is in charge of this fun event and can sign you up as well or provide answers to questions you may have.
What better way to spend the day on Friday indoors learning, getting great gifts, and soaking up knowledge for life!
