Intramural & All-Star Soccer Program
The third week of the Spring Indoor Soccer program took place last week with two Intramural games and a session for the Clinic. In the 4-team co-ed Intramural program for members age 8 to 12, the opener saw F.C. Barcelona defeat Inter Milan by a score of 8-2. Devante Teixeira (3 goals), Andronique DosSantos (2 goals), Carlos Robalo (1 goal), LeZhan DosSantos (1 goal) and Samuel Alouidor (1 goal) led the F.C. Barcelona attack while Jeison Peguero (1 goal) and Jerry Lopes (1 goal) provided the scoring for Inter Milan. In the second game Celtic F.C. needed overtime to get by Manchester United by a score of 3-2. Celtic F.C. received their offense from Isaac Butler (1 goal), Edison Vazquez (1 goal) and the game-winner from Jabriel Pressley (1 goal) while D’Mitra Weathers (1 goal) and Saide Smith (1 goal) provided the offense for Manchester United. The Defensive Players of the Week were Nicholas Clements of Inter Milan and Devante Teixeira of F.C. Barcelona while the Offensive Players of the Week were Saide Smith of Manchester United and Jabriel Pressley of Celtic F.C. In addition to the Intramural League, the Clinic program, which is available to our 6 and 7 year old members, holds sessions on Friday afternoons at 4 p.m.
The third component of the program includes two teams, one from the Marr Clubhouse and one from our Denney Center Unit competing in the N.E.N.E.A.P.C. League against Clubs from the region. This week the Daniel Marr All-Stars hosted our counterparts from the Denney Center Unit, gaining a 6-2 win followed by a game against the West End House Boys and Girls Club where they secured a 2-1 victory.

Fine Arts & Music Program News
In addition to the ongoing Fine Arts classes (painting, drawing, girls art, boys art & sculpture), as well as our One-to-One and small group music instruction, there are several special events on the horizon. After weeks of construction, the finishing touches are being put on our new Music Clubhouse. After several years of success, the music program will now have its very own space for drop-in and structured classes. The projected opening of the Clubhouse will be May 11. At the same time, our music students are going through final rehearsals for the recital which will be held on May 22. This will be a chance for our students to showcase all they have learned for family, friends and their fellow club members. We would also like to congratulate the following members of the Photography Club: Mason Brooks, Patricia Rizzo and D’Mitra Weathers, each of whom will be representing our Club with photos in the Northeast Regional Exhibit of Boys and Girls Clubs of America’s Imagemaker competition.
