The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holyoke, founded in 1892, is an affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, one of the nation’s oldest and premiere youth organizations. Boys & Girls Clubs of America has its national headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. The first Boys Club was started in Hartford, Connecticut in 1860. The first affiliation of Boys Clubs took place in 1906, when fifty-three Boys Clubs, including Holyoke, gathered in Boston to form The Federated Boys Clubs of America. In 1931, The Federation became Boys Clubs of America. In 1956, Boys Clubs of America received a U.S. Congressional Charter. In 1990, the national organization changed its name to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and Congress amended the Charter accordingly.

The students had been learning about and practicing basketball skills for about 8 weeks. The jamboree pitted Sullivan School students against Donahue School students and Kelly School students. There were so many students playing that each school had to field at least two teams. There were two winning teams and they both received medals. All the students left with ice cream.

Artwork of The Month

The arts & crafts project was done by two Holyoke Public School teachers who are volunteering at the Club together every Tuesday night.  Even though they work with children all day in school, they volunteer at night because they want to have fun with the children.  The teachers are Jenny Johnson from the Lynch Middle School and Katie Ross from the Kelly School.
