TOUR STOP 10: THE Y

October 28: The Zo Much More "𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱itude Tour " was back in action this morning with a stop at each of the two Needham Charles River YMCA locations!

The Needham Y is a tremendously supportive partner of the Needham High School Post-Graduate Program enabling them to incorporate being part of a fitness community into the curriculum. Whether it's a weekly swim at the Great Plain Ave location or what's now become a 4x/week treadmill-while-rocking-out-to-music-on-her-phone workout at the Chestnut St location, the Y has offered a consistent, safe, welcoming environment to learn life skills such as swiping a membership card, programming cardio machines and wiping down the equipment after using it. The staff always looks out for Zoe and takes pride in her success. And we also need to give to thanks to the other gym-goers as well who chat with her in the locker room, laugh off Zoe's occasional spontaneous dance breaks in the middle of the gym floor and who always make sure there's a treadmill open for her.

The Zo Much More products Zoe made for the Y play off the white background with the bright red, purple, teal, blue and pink color blocks that make up the iconic Y logo, webiste and materials. Zoe also added a beach ball - one of her most favorite items - to add to the playful spirit. Zoe will definitely be continuing to visit both Y's on a regular basis for years to come. Thank you, Charles River YMCA! 

(In case you missed it: While the specifics of Zoe's Post-22 life are still a work in progress, we wanted to use these last few weeks in her beyond awesome Needham High School Post-Graduate Program to thank the many local places in Needham that have served as her community classroom to help her develop important life and social skills as she graduates into her role as a productive adult member of this community. Zoe is stopping by several local establishments, accompanied by her super-dedicated NHS Post-Grad support, delivering sample Zo Much More products that she made and customized for each place uniquely inspired by her interactions with them.)
