Welcome to post #67 of Club at Home! Every day, we share content that brings Club programs, traditions, and staff into the homes of members. Our goal is to provide the same fun and educational activities to our Club members and families, even while Clubs are physically closed.
Today, we check in with staff from our Clubs who share different activities for members across all age groups, including origami, LEGOs, ukulele chords, and digital board games.
Also, BPS will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch throughout the summer. Meal deliveries will continue for students who regularly receive door-to-door transportation and all BPS meal sites will remain open every weekday, 8:30-11:30 am. To see locations, visit bostonpublicschools.org/freemeals.

We are still sticking with the key of C, so the chords that you will need to know on the ukulele are C, F, Am, and G.
