Welcome to L.A.C.E., where we are always accepting new students from grades 8-12. Our first focus is always homework, while having some snacks. We provide students with tutors if needed. This year we are looking towards taking photos at the park and entering them into a contest for a prize. With our newly created Financial Class, thanks to Webster Bank. Our Financial Lab classes will be taught by Jose Cortez. He will be teaching the students about investments, credit, bank accounts, the stock market and more. Our schedule includes, guitar classes, photography, trips to universities, visiting the Peabody Museum, star gazing at Wesleyan University, Pumpkin picking and painting, Halloween party, baking and decorating treats, fitness classes, Dave and Buster, Holiday Dinners, Christmas Tree decorating and a Christmas Train ride., while working on our LACE Magazine.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
Most of the students know each other while others were introduced for the first time. We have such a vibrant and intelligent group of students who are willing and ready to learn and just have fun after-school. We have played Heads- Up, where teams were created and the director was invited to play, it was a blast. The topics chosen were food, animals and History. These students know their stuff. We have also attended the new Finance Lab where the students were learning about the use of credit cards and interest rates. We have celebrated the September Birthdays with cake and ice cream. We have painted on canvas without looking at a photo, only by description. It was fun!! We connected a few tables to create a larger playing area for table tennis. Lastly, we sang Karaoke, and we had a ball. We found out that everyone loves to sing.
