j j j Friday’s Child j j j

K’Lonie is a sweet 6-year-old Afri- can American girl who loves hugs and kisses. K’Lonie enjoys listening to music and humming to the melody. She also likes having books read to her and playing on the iPad. K’Lonie is on the Autism Spectrum and due to her young age it is not clear if there are additional cognitive delays. She is currently attending a day program where she is learning sign language, receiving 1-1 support and has an Individu- alized Education Plan (IEP) to help her build age-appropriate skills. She is able to participate in her lessons and activities but requires supervision when doing activities on her own. K’Lonie can have difficulty with transitions but she is able to manage them with the appropriate support. When she feels she needs assistance of others she typically uses physical contact to try to communicate. Her speech and language has been improving and she has proved that with the proper support, she is able to make progress in many areas she was behind in before coming into care. K’Lonie maintains contact with some of her birth family. An ideal family for her would be two parents who have natural supports in place so they may obtain respite if feeling overwhelmed. A family would need to be strong educational advocates so the progress through her program is not lost if or when she transitions to the regular public school system.

What does Adoption Cost? It costs little or nothing to adopt a child from foster care. Unlike international or private adoptions, there is no adoption agency fee. There are also a number of free post-adoption support services available to families statewide, including support groups and respite care. Children with special needs who are adopted from the foster care system are eligible for ongoing financial and medical assistance after adoption. These children are also eligible for a tuition waiver to attend a Massachusetts state college or university. To learn more about K’Lonie, and about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit www.mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”

WEBSTER — On Saturday, Dec. 17, two of St. Joseph School’s three FIRST LEGO League Robotics Teams competed at the Massachusetts (West) State Championship, also known as Robonautica, at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. More than 460 teams competed in FIRST LEGO League robotics competitions in Massachusetts this season. Seventy-two of the top teams competed at WPI Saturday, Dec. 17. This year’s challenge theme was Animal Allies. Therefore, in addition to competing with an autonomous robot that teams designed and programmed to solve missions, teams had to identify a real-world problem that exists when human and animals interact. The ultimate goal is to design an innovative solution that adds value to society. Robo-Rescuers received a Second- Place Award in LEGO’s Special Category, Gracious Professionalism. This award recognizes a team whose members show each other and other teams respect at all times. The award also acknowledges that the Robo- Rescuers recognize that both friendly competition and mutual gain are possible on and off the playing field. In addition, the team made it to the final round of the head-to-head robot competitions and finished in fourth place. Robo-Rescuers members include 4th Grade Students: Dale Boudreau, Lucas Boynton, and Will Colebourn and 6th Grade Students: Nicholas Fennelly, Patrick Mahlert, Remonda Mankarios, Olivia Montione, and Julia Zdrok. Wings of Freedom received a First- Place Award for their project presentation. This award recognizes the team that effectively communicates the problem they identified and their proposed solution to both the judges and other potential supporters. Recently, this team received a Certificate of Appreciation from Marilyn Fels, the Community Cat Connection and Webster Animal Control for their outstanding efforts to make their Trap-Neuter-Release Program (TNR) more effective and efficient. The team spent time with both organizations engineering improvements to the trapping mechanisms of their traps as well as designing a unique tray to assist with the transportation of captured feral cats. Their design made the TNR process easier and safer for cats and humans. Members of the Wings of Freedom include 7th Grade Students: Seth Boudreau, Jacob Boynton, Benjamin Colebourn, Benjamin Duval, and Szymon Mamro, and 8th Grade Students: Jack Colebourn, Christopher Mahlert, and David Mankarios. 6 • The Webster Times • Friday, January 6, 2017 www.StonebridgePress.com Learning Jack and Jill Preschool celebrates holidays

Courtesy photos WEBSTER — At Mass on Dec. 16, the story of the Bible from creation to the Christmas story was brought to life by the All Saints Academy fourth and eighth grade students along with the joy and anticipation as we wait for the birth of Jesus. Each student adorned their class Jesse Tree with handmade, illustrated ornaments. The ornaments represented the people, prophesies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus. Before hanging their ornament on the tree, the 8th graders read the meaning of their ornament and the 4th graders read a prayer. Every person at Mass left with the spirit of the season beaming from within. Throughout this season of Advent, the school celebrated with weekly Advent services and daily classroom Advent ceremonies.

WEBSTER — Four-year starter Anthony Grzembski of Bartlett High has a knack for driving successfully to the basket. From there, the diminutive senior usually makes a hoop or draws a foul and heads to the free throw line. And the free throw line is where Grzembski stood in the second quarter on Friday evening, Dec. 16 versus Uxbridge High. After successfully making the shot, Grzembski became the latest edition to the school’s 1,000-point club in the Indians’ 88-45 victory versus the Spartans. The victory improved Bartlett’s record to 2-1 on the young season.

Photos courtesy Lisa Kontoes Bartlett High’s Anthony Grzembski is the latest member of the school’s 1,000-point club, which he attained during the Indians’ 88-45 victory versus Uxbridge High on Friday, Dec. 16. Other Bartlett 1,000-point scorers in attendance included, from left, his father and assistant coach Ed, Nick Kobel, Alex Givins-Perry and Gino Manzi, the head coach of the aforementioned Spartans.

WEBSTER — A 9-0 lead midway through the first quarter for the Bartlett High girls’ varsity basketball team when they took on Uxbridge High on Thursday, Dec. 15 seemed to imply that the Indians wouldn’t have a problem putting away the Spartans. But Uxbridge fought back and the game was tied up at 20-20 by halftime. Bartlett eventually persevered, though, and won a close contest, 42-39, to improve to 2-1. The Spartans dropped to 0-2. Uxbridge’s comeback came immediately following their 9-0 deficit, as they rattled off the next seven points. The Indians led at the end of quarter one, 13-9, before the Spartans grabbed a 20-18 lead just before the break, but not before Bartlett tied the score heading into the second half. The Indians won third quarter scoring, 14-10, to surge ahead, 34-30, heading into the final frame, and they led by a 40-36 count as the clock wound down.

Uxbridge had a last ditch effort for a game-tying 3-pointer, which would have sent the game to overtime, but the Spartans couldn’t get a shot off before the final buzzer sounded. The Indians were led by Madison Podedworny’s double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds), a 10-point effort from Kyara Binienda and a 6-point, 14-rebound performance by Marylee Panient.

OXFORD — A strong showing by the Oxford High starting five — which saw them all score before the first quarter was half over — helped the Pirates defeat the Southbridge High girls’ varsity basketball team, 60-36, in a game played on Thursday, Dec. 22. Oxford held a 17-12 lead through the initial eight minutes, and then an even better second quarter propelled the Pirates to victory. In the second they outscored the Pioneers, 23-9, to grab a 40-21 lead at the halftime break. Southbridge gave it all they had, though, and won the third quarter by a 10-5 count to pull within 14 points (45-31) entering the final frame. But in the fourth quarter Oxford won the scoring, 15-5, to finish off their victory to improve to 3-0. The Pirates’ Gina Parmenter led the way with 19 points, while Kayla Soto (14 points, 8 rebounds) and Jordan Tremblay (12 points, 7 rebounds) also registered double-digit scoring performances. The other starters — Karlie Parmenter and Felicity Steiger — enjoyed matching stat lines of 6 points and 7 rebounds. For Southbridge (0-3), Julitza Delgado finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds, while teammate Mya Torres added 8 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. The Pioneers won the overall rebounding total versus Oxford, 43-34.
