MLC/MELC Through The Month
October Recap
Dear Reader
What a month October has been! We finally had our buddies from Tufts back and hanging out with us every day, we've been able to try some health food and movements with Daffe, and learn some new skills at the Brazilian Martial Arts Center. Our on-site choices have been very fulfilling as well. Some of stands outs have been ; Speech and Debate Club, No Bake Cooking Club, Everything Stem Club, Mini Explorers Club And Spark. We also had a community basketball game at the Healey school. We are excited for what November has in store. And the holidays are sneaking up very quickly, the season has just begun!!!
Sincerely,
Your Team at MLC

STEAM Tuesday & Thursday: Science, math, technology, arts and crafts, oh my! These activities focus on creativity and building.
Service Learning Wednesday: Activities focused on giving back to our community, whether it's making a card for the elderly or picking up trash in our neighborhood!
