Westfield Area YMCA 2022 “Souper” Bowl
Westfield Area YMCA
All of the Westfield Area YMCA preschool, full-day early learning, and Kindergarten classes recently participated in their annual “Souper” Bowl. This was a great way for the children to learn about numbers and the concept of social responsibility! Students brought in soup cans and used them to vote for the team they thought would win the big game. In the process, they practiced using tally marks, counting and sorting. All 563 cans of soup were then donated to the Westfield Food Pantry.
