Special Club Programs for February and March 2014

We look forward to welcoming all our youth back to the Club after the February school break. 

Special programs continuing in February and March include:

• On Wednesdays @5:15-6pm: "Karate with Loring." Mr. Loring Greene is an experienced practitioner and teacher of martial arts, and is also on the WMCC's Youth Committee. So far this weekly program has been a hit! Loring introduces kids to the techniques and discipline of this martial art, offering themthe opportunity to build fitness as well as focus. 
• On Fridays @ 3:45-5pm: "Math Games with Brian." Mr. Brian Collins, Autonomy Engineer at the famous Draper Labs in Cambridge and current President of WMCC, brings energy and excitement to all things math-related. Recent afternoon activities have focused on solving Rubik's cubes and understanding the math behind their design. Riddles, number-centric puzzles and more are part of the fun.

Our TLC student Leaders have some great ideas for additional special activities which will be starting up in the next week or two. These include music discovery, oil painting, creative communication and public speaking, and intercultural awareness.

We also aim to organize opportunities for the youth to develop computer admin and web-design skills so that they might take on the development of a Club website.

Special Programs for January 2014

We are happy to announce special MinM programs starting  or continuing in January 2014:

• On Mondays @4-5pm Dr. Anne Thompson, Professor Emerita of English, will continue offering "Plays, Poems, and Stories: Writing with Anne."  This popular weekly program provides middle-schoolers opportunities to develop their creative ideas and hone their writing skills for different literary genres.
  
• On Mondays @5-6pm, Mr. Loring Greene will be offering "Karate with Loring." Loring is an experienced practitioner and teacher of martial arts, and is also on the WMCC's Youth Committee. We expect this program to be a hit, especially during the cold months when outdoor time is curtailed, as it offers the opportunity to build fitness as well as focus. Martial arts can also help kids develop discipline and socialization skills.

We look forward to announcing additional special programs shortly.
