Lots of activities at the Dwares JCC Teen Lounge

February activities included baking, above, and a trip to play Laser Tag.

It has been very active in our new and improved Teen Lounge. Our Nintendo Wii is a huge hit with the teens competing against one another in all things Wii sports. The other big competition among our teens is at our Foosball table. The teens here at the Dwares JCC are really getting into challenging one another and keeping their winning streak alive!

During February break and to help break the winter blues, we took a trip to Battlegroundz in Attleboro, Massachusetts, where everyone enjoyed playing Laser Tag against the other visitors there. Our JCC team dominated in each game and won. A Special shout out goes to Francesca Binder who scored the highest individual score!

To get ready for Purim, the teens baked hamantaschen from scratch. By far the favorite flavors were Nutella and peanut butter with chocolate chips. The Teen Lounge is becoming a great place for socializing and hanging out. I hope to see your teens come by to have fun, play a game or just say “hi.”
