Here are this week’s featured programs at the John M. Barry Boys & girls Club of Newton. MyFuture.net is a digital platform where kids can participate in some of the best activities the web has to offer when it comes to STEM, leadership and the arts. Weekly suggested activities arrive via Facebook and email and participants explore as desired. Anyone who registers and lists the John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club as their host organization is entered into a raffle to earn a $100 Visa Gift Card. Story Time on Mondays and Fridays at 2:00 PM is a perfect way for parents to earn themselves a short reprieve form providing 24 hour quarantine care. Bluejeans.com sessions hosted by members of the Club’s staff and volunteers feature classic tales suitable for kids in grades K-2, and younger! Elementary School girls are invited to take part in Chat Attack, a free girls empowerment group hosted on bluejeans.com on Fridays at 3:30 PM. Kids can stay in touch with their friends and caring adult mentors as they explore a prearranged activity set designed to build self-esteem and to bring out the “superpowers” that we all possess. Riddle Me This offers a weekly brain challenge posted on Thursdays at 1:00 PM on Facebook. It is sure to keep everyone guessing and extra points are awarded for fast thinking.
