Fall is a season of new beginnings at the Y

As summer begins to wind down, we’re taking a moment to reflect on all of the fun, growth, and connection that happened at the Farmington Valley YMCA this summer. Our camps were filled with field trips, swimming, games, friendships and plenty of opportunities for kids to try something new.

Safe Grad extends heartfelt thanks to community

On June 11, Granby Memorial High School graduates celebrated their achievements at the 40th annual Graduation Night Party held at the Farmington Valley YMCA. Organized by Granby Parents for a Safe Graduation, the event, which is free of charge for all graduates, welcomed 105 graduates, representing 80 percent of the Class of 2026.
