More children are getting their education at home than ever. According to the National Home Education Research, there are now nearly five million homeschooled students in the U.S., including children ages 5 to 17 with a grade equivalent of kindergarten through grade 12. In 2019, that number was 2.5 million.

The Lakewood Family YMCA is now an even more beautiful location. On September 18, 2022, a group of over 50 family and friends dedicated Susan’s Garden at the branch. The garden was created to honor the memory of Susan Conway Grimberg and her husband, Bill.
