Ever is our Tot of the Month!

Ever is a shining presence in our classroom, bringing boundless energy and enthusiasm to each day. Always ready to play, lend a helping hand, and cheer on her classmates, she creates a supportive and joyful environment for everyone around her. Ever especially loves music and spending time with her friends, and she takes pride in helping out during morning meeting. Her kindness and positive spirit make tot-time a warm, welcoming, and truly special place for all.

We are so proud of you, Ever!

We have two teens of the month!

Whether it’s pick-up basketball, volleyball open gym, or one of our pilot programs, Marlon is always among the first to sign up and the first to arrive—bringing a smile and great energy every time. Marlon is friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to have in our programs. Thanks for choosing to spend your time with us, Marlon—we’re excited to see what you sign up for next!

Emily has been apart of our Teen Programs for years, and embodies our programs completely. Through the years we’ve seen Emily grow up, mature, yet always be her funny and vibrant herself. Emily is always the first teen in the door, and usually the last to leave. She is extremely kind to her friends, staff, and others she meets through our programs. Emily: continue to be who you are, and we hope you know how thankful we all our that you are apart of our community!

Congratulations Marlon and Emilyl!

April Vacation Program had some four-legged (and even one eight-legged!) friends join them to kick off their April break! Reptiles of New England came to show everyone different kinds of snakes, tarantulas, lizards, and more! We even got to get up close and personal with these slimy creatures- yuck!

Somerville Parks and Recreation recognized a growing need for expanded youth programming during February and April school vacations, which led to the launch of our February and April Fun Time programs this year. Following the strong success of February Fun Time, we saw a significant increase in participation during our April session. These programs provided a valuable outlet for youth to burn off school-related stress through our open gym format, while also supporting their social and physical well-being by staying active and connected with friends!

April 24, 2026

Our April Vacation Program ended school break with a field trip to Chunky's Cinema Movie Theater in Manchester, New Hampshire! We watched the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie with pizza, ice cream, and pink lemonade provided by Chunky's! Thank you Chunky's Cinema for the best movie experience!

After multiple seasons of hosting Adult Zumba, we have tripled our attendance rates this spring season and filled up the West Somerville Neighborhood School's cafeteria every week! Make sure to look out for more adult exercise classes coming this fall!
