CLUBS HAPPENINGS
Quick Club Quote: "The Boys & Girls Clubs is a great place for kids. All three girls attended Pre-K, the before and after-school program, and participated on numerous sports teams. The staff is caring, helpful, and truly amazing." Mom of 3 Wayne Club members
STEM-Tastic Wednesdays: Members at our Pequannock Club and satellite location are participating in weekly STEM activities and loving every minute of it! Recent projects included Shelf for the Elf, Lava Lamps and Coding. Our members explore science concepts through hands-on activities that encourage the kids to think creatively. These engaging projects are designed to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Teen Scene: Our 6th-8th graders have a new place just for them during our after-school program at the Wayne Club. The "lounge" includes comfy couches, a large TV, foosball, ping pong, air hockey, craft areas, and a quiet space for homework during Power Hour. The middle-schoolers are thrilled with this new space, created just for them!
Drum Roll, please: CONGRATULATIONS to our Panthers 5th Grade Girls Basketball team for winning the PAL Championship! As shared by Arthur McShane, Head Coach, "Panthers 5th Grade Girls went 2-1 in the pool play with wins vs Paramus and Ridgewood, but a loss to Wanaque. Semi-Finals were against the winner of the other bracket. Pequannock, who is a very strong team, won a tight game in the closing minutes. Finals; we had a rematch with Wanaque who we lost to in pool play, but played a very close game and then took the lead at the end and we were able to hold on and bring home the championship! It was a complete team effort, everyone contributed, and it was a beautiful thing to see."
Partners for Good: Thank you to all the companies, organizations, and caring individuals that donated so generously to our Wayne Club's Giving Tree and Pequannock Club's Frosty's Friends Holiday Giving Drive. Hundreds of gifts were collected, resulting in a brighter holiday season for local children and families in need. We also want to thank the area restaurants that donated delicious food for the holiday celebration for the Giving Tree recipient children and families at the Wayne Club. And a special shout out to the members of the Keystone Club for their help prepping, during, and after the holiday dinner. It warms our hearts to see the generosity and love of so many in our local communities.
