Boredom Buster Week Recap Video

Boredom Buster Week 2010

What a blast we had during Boredom Buster Week 2010! We had about 15 middle school students and high school volunteers participate throughout the week. Friday through Wednesday provided a new activity each day...

Students prepared and headed out to capture pictures for their photo essays.

The Gym Jam was fun with basketball and dodgeball. The youth minister surprised the kids by winning a half court shot contest!

What Italian chef is complete without a mustache? Thanks, Fr. Reker for a yummy and authentic Italian meal!

Cards and games rounded out Monday night and this team the "Rabbid Rabbits" were fierce competitors in the EXTREME Egg Hunt.

Our mural came together piece by piece throughout the week. Charades were enjoyed by all!

We were busy making cards for the homebound of our parish to spread the joy of Easter!

Thanks to all participants, volunteers and those who donated materials for the week. A special thanks to Fr. Reker for teaching us how to make Fettuccini Alfredo!
