Today on DelmarvaLife –
Everyone knows to welcome news students in class, but what about welcoming new teachers? There’s a project on Delmarva that’s doing just that by giving them what they need to be successful. For the first time, Worcester Youth and Family Counseling Services, in partnership with the Greater Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin and Snow Hill Chambers of Commerce are asking for donations to fill bags for the new teachers of Worcester County. Those interested in donating should deliver items to the WYFCS offices no later than August 15. The offices are located at 124 North Main Street, Suite C, in Berlin, MD 21811. They are also requesting volunteers for the “bag stuffing” event on August 16 at 12 p.m. in the Ray (located within WYFCS offices.) Lunch will be provided.
We only have less than a week left of the month of July, and we can’t let the month end without mentioning that it is Parks and Recreation Month. It’s celebrated nationally, but taken especially seriously in Ocean City. The goal there is to help people “Discover an Ocean of Fun.” Between different camps, community events, and gorgeous grounds, the OC Recreation and Parks Department is working to provide a little something for everybody. We sent DelmarvaLife’s Katie Zarrilli to find out more.
