Fantasy Hockey Champion!

The NHL season recently ended, and the playoffs began. With the end of the NHL's regular season came the end of our Fantasy Hockey season, one that began waaaaaaaay back in October.

Mike calculated the final results, and our first champion, with 925 points, was Feldano! In second place, just 20 points behind, was Nebil, and Jhkyos finished in third place.

For winning the league, Feldano got a new Bruins hat to show off his Boston hockey pride, and he's been wearing every day since.

The kids and teens enjoyed following their teams and checking the standings, and learned a little more about hockey too. It was fun, and we look forward to doing it again next season.

Until then, it's the playoffs, so Go Bruins!

Painting in the Activity Room!

Taking a break from Xbox, Molly and Ayana helped the younger kids do some painting recently in the Activity Room. The kids helped set up and clean up after the activity, and in between they made some awesome pictures that we used to brighten up the Activity Room.

Check out the pictures below!

March Madness Projects!

Towards the end of March, kids in the 6th grade at the Morse school had a project to do involving the NCAA's "March Madness" tournament. The kids were each assigned a team, and had to create a poster for that team including team colors, graphs and charts, and other useful information.

The kids chose to use the CLC to do their projects, printing out logos and pictures, graphs, and charts, and using supplies to set up their posters.

They came out great, and the kids all got good grades. Nice job, guys!
