BOSTON — The Patrick Administration announced today that the Department of Youth Services (DYS) and its educational provider, the Hampshire Educational Collaborative, have been awarded a $470,000 grant to support physical education programs for youth in eight DYS residential facilities across the state. The U.S. Department of Education’s Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant will support the Healthy Opportunities, Positive Effects (HOPE) initiative, which will promote physical activity and nutritional instruction for youth in the care and custody of DYS. The Department of Youth Services and the Hampshire Education Collaborative will develop a comprehensive wellness curriculum that provides students with the tools they need to adopt lifelong fitness goals and healthy eating habits. This curriculum, which will be integrated into each student’s individualized learning plan, is designed to increase the number of DYS youth achieving the recommended amount of physical activity each week.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,               Your AFSCME Local 1368 have recently decided to take part in what we believe is a worth-while cause for a fellow Union Brother. His youngest daughter was diagnosed with Diabetes at a very young age and several of your fellow Union Members have decided to collect donations and walk in an organized Charitable Walk for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International). The walk will be held October 18th, 2009 at Worcester State College in Worcester, MA starting at 10:30AM. If you would like to walk with us or would simply like to make a donation go to http://walk.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=extranet.personalpage&confirmid=87345158 and click join this team or donate to this walker. To join the team click Join This Team, fill in the info and select Francisco Ojeda (Local Member) as your Team Captain, then you are all registered for the walk and start getting those donations as once you hit $100 in donations you receive a walk t-shirt. Or you may donate VIA debt card or credit card here, there is also an address to mail then in (Just make sure it says, Megan’s Wish/ AFSCME1368 on it so it gets to the right place).
