YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD

PYS AWARENESS PROJECTS

This year the PYS Youth Advisory Board developed a plan to help publicize what Pittsford Youth Services offers to students in Pittsford. As part of this plan, students designed a Youth Board T-Shirt to wear and a poster that was circulated throughout the Pittsford Community. Also, three schools held “PYS Awareness Week”.

Sutherland High School – During the week of April 11-15 Jane Zhu and Jamie Winebrake and promoted PYS with a video telling students about PYS services and the benefits of joining the Youth Advisory Board. They also held “Thoughtful Thursday” on April 14 where students wrote on slips of paper, something nice that someone did for them. On Friday they posted the good deed and had a PYS info table.

Mendon High School - During the week of April 4-8 Allie Lovallo and Brian Case and promoted PYS during the morning announcements, wore their T-Shirts, designed and hung posters promoting PYS and the upcoming Duck Drop in July.

Calkins Road Middle School – On April 15 Stephanie Sorting, Austin DeStefano, and Matthew Young distributed bracelets and also designed posters to promote PYS
