CATCH After School Program
The CATCH Program had another great week. Chris Fitzgerald, DYEE worker, did a great job tutoring our participants and helping them with homework. Activity for the week was basketball. Everyone did a great job participating and displaying skills as well as teamwork. Floor Hockey was a major success, as players get ready for the season to begin this Friday. Star of the week was Danny Fox, who continues to listen and always looks forward to our weekly bowling trip.
