MIDDLEBURY — The school year is in full swing at the Teen Center, and there’s no better way to celebrate the school year than pizza.
Join Addison Central Teens for a night of pizza and fun on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at American Flatbread Middlebury for the Addison Central Teens Benefit Bake and show your support for the Teen Center. For every Flatbread sold that evening Flatbread will donate $3 for large, $2 for small to Addison Central Teens.
Addison Central Teens provides a teen center and after-school alternatives that are welcoming, safe and fun for all teenagers in the community. Teens have a place to hang out as well as opportunities to plan and participate in activities, special events and community service at the Teen Center and throughout the community. It’s open every day after school from 3-6 p.m.
Events like the benefit bake allow Addison Central Teens to provide programming such as cooking workshops, gaming clubs, and ice skating days as well as support healthy after-school snacks. “We love these types of events, as they allow the community to not only show their support for us, but we can then show how much we care about our community,” says executive director, Zoe Kaslow. The benefit b ake gives Addison Central Teens the opportunity to share stories about their work and hear about community needs in addition to supporting a local business. 
Danielle Boyce, general manager and owner of American Flatbread Middlebury, expressed her excitement about the event, “We’re so happy to support the teen center in this way. These could be kids that have played in our back yard or watched their pizza baking in our oven. Investing in them now means investing in their future — the community’s future as a whole. There are few things that are more important than that!”
