<span style="color: #008000;"> <strong>BIRTHDAY WEEK</strong></span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Hey everyone!  This week was Birthday week and we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Future Stars!  We played Sharks and Minnows on Tuesday and Cassidy, Patrick, and Zachary showed their lightning fast speed as they dodged their fellow Ducks.  Nathan had some awesome kicks in kickball and Brynn had a lot of fun playing on the computers.  In art, Ava and Maggie made some really cool sculptures out of clay and Andrew had fun melting chocolate and dipping bananas in it.  It was very hot this week and Sierra and Hayden enjoyed playing in the pool with their friends.  Melinda and Reese both put on their dancing shoes when we played freeze dance and learned the "hand jive" from Grease.  We played "What time is it Mr. Fox" and Garrett and Lia were both really good chasers and taggers.</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Our camper of the week this week is Emeric because he was a good sport and he followed all directions during the week.  Great job Emeric!  </span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Next week is the last week at Future Stars and we're looking forward to ending camp with a great week!</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Sincerely,</span>

This week at Future Stars Camp it was Blue and Gold week! We split the children into even teams, one gold and one blue. They were neck and neck all week vying for the lead! <strong>Maggie</strong> lead her team to victory in kickball with fantastic help from <strong>Emeric</strong> and <strong>Cassidy</strong> was tremedous on the soccer field! When the Ducks played pillow soccer, <strong>Zachary</strong> was an amazing goalie! <strong>Nathan</strong> knew his stuff when it came to Disney trivia! <strong>Christopher</strong>, <strong>Hayden</strong> and <strong>Patrick</strong> all swam like fish during the relays in the pool! <strong>Lia</strong> was always willing to lend a helpful hand to the other Duck campers. <strong>Ava</strong> and <strong>Garrett</strong> helped win the trophy by doing a marvelous job on cheer day. When they weren’t competing for Blue and Gold week, <strong>Brynn</strong> and <strong>Andrew</strong> showed off their wonderful artistic skills! Last but not least, <strong>Stephen Reckner</strong> is our Camper of the Week, he always shows up with a bright smile on his face and enthusiastically takes part in all activities! Even though the rain forced us to make changes in our schedule, overall, we still had a great week and we look forward to another one!

QUACK, QUACK !!

This week was Dr. Suess week at Future Stars and the Ducks had a great week. We made our very own Dr. Seuss character and rhyme! <strong>Harley</strong> came up with many great ideas for our character "Vair the Zair. <strong>Garrett</strong> showed off some of his wonderful reading skills when he read Green Eggs and Ham! In honor of Dr. Suess, Wednesday was crazy hat day. <strong>Stephen</strong> wore a hilarious moose hat and won the contest for the Ducks. <strong>Nathan's</strong> b-day cake hat gave everyone a laugh. Tuesday was cheer day, and <strong>Lia</strong> helped organize everybody so well. In Hollywood, our campers showed off their dance skills on Thursday while they made butter. <strong>Reese</strong> tore up the dance floor while <strong>Brynn</strong> matched her step for step. Since it was so hot this week, we had plenty of time in the pool. <strong>Casey</strong> was a standout swimmer in his first week here, and <strong>Zach</strong> and <strong>Emeric</strong> made great strides in their progression in the pool. In science, the Ducks focused on sight. We made color wheels for an optical illusion on Thursday, and <strong>Andrew</strong> really showed off his artistic skills. One of the campers' favorite periods of the day is always computers. <strong>Melinda</strong>, <strong>Hayden</strong>, and <strong>Chris</strong> really enjoyed their time this week and were always willing to share the fun. Last, but certainly not least, <strong>Kevin Patrick Cooney</strong> won the illustrious camper of the week award for the Ducks!!! He showed constant enthusiasm and came up with a banana dance that should have won the trophy. We look forward to another great week with the Ducks.

Thanks!
