From Gumdrop to Flower Queen, graduating senior Anna has been dancing at the Harris Y for 13 years and will dance her 11th Nutcracker this December. Anna says, “I love dancing at the Y because the teachers are so supportive. It’s like one big family. Nutcracker season is one of the things I look forward to the most at Christmas time.” This beautiful dancer also works at the Y as a dance instructor and camp counselor. Once she graduates, Anna hopes to come back and support the dance program. Anna will always have a home here with Harris Dance #harrisymca #HarrisYSchoolofDance #nutcracker

Closing out Diabetes Prevention Month with Aida's inspiring journey! 🌟
Knowing that she had a family history of diabetes and wanting to be more proactive about her health, Aida joined the Diabetes Prevention Program offered in Spanish at our branch. This one-of-a-kind program is not only offered in Spanish, but also provides participants with a free Y membership, allowing them to put their learnings into practice through regular exercise.
Since joining the program in January, Aida has not only lost weight, but gained a healthier mindset by making overall informed lifestyle choices.
