It’s blue and white day today at camp, so it’s a sea of Leominster pride around here!  It’s going to be super hot today, so we have modified our schedule a little to make sure the kids are getting extra water breaks (not all are shown on the schedule) and are not doing activities that are too strenuous in the middle of the day.  We will be watching a film on offense and teamwork as well as a memorial film about Mark Osowski.  The film was made my the Cleveland Cavaliers media director after he died and given as a gift to his family.  It shows Mark in action coaching with the Cavs, which is great for the kids to see.  There is even a scene with Mark on the sidelines chatting with Lebron James – that is always a highlight for kids.  Here is the rest of the schedule for Thursday:

• 9:00-9:20 – Shoot around and dynamic stretching
