March 24th Pinwheels for Praise

We enjoy partnering with the Crime Victims Advocates twice a year to raise awareness of child abuse. This Spring's event at the Wentworth was lots of fun! We painted terra cotta pots with words of praise, such as "Good job! Way to go!"

The pots will be "planted" with pinwheels and displayed at Draper City Hall during the month of April to remind people to praise their children and treat them well.

Draper Youth Council Earns FIRST PLACE Award of Excellence!!!

Congratulations to everyone on the Draper Youth Council for all of their hard work planning activities, doing service projects, attending leadership conferences etc. for 2008. We submitted an application documenting our progress last year, and were pleased and ecstatic to be presented with the First Place Award of Excellence at the Annual Association of Youth Councils Conference in Logan, UT March 12-14, 2009.
