We
would like to welcome all new staff to the one and only Beverly
Recreation Department and welcome back all returnees, as well.
Everyone loves to come back, because they have so much fun!
The
first session of camp has come and gone. Now only 6 weeks more to go. Stefany
H. has been doing a great job at Tykes and after only a week can turn
on the outdoor hose. I think it was a first that not one Tyker or
Tykes staff member was crying on the first day, and no one wanted to
go home.
Sam
S. is not going for the record of being the last member of the camp
staff to return his med. form anymore. Allegra E. wins the award,
however, for losing her new sneakers in record time. Ever so
cheerful, Allegra still told everyone to “Have a great day.”
Marco, ever the helpful brother, asked people to check for his
sister’s sneakers, using the radio, as it was too hot for him to
check around on foot. Jake S. has been doing a great job at early
care. Heard he sets 3 alarms to make sure he is here bright and
early.
Dan
C. has made a smooth transition from instructor to Acme Sr. Director
now that his alarm is in working order. We look forward to seeing
many different cowboy hats over the summer. Acme C.I.T. Katie H. had
a camper get up close and personal with her at the beach. If anyone
is in the neighborhood of Starbucks next Saturday morning, please
surprise Hayley M. with a scone. Lots of staff have missed the Henry’s
cookies which had been frequently dropped off, as well.
Corey
M. and Jocelyn R. are 1 for 2 with special events, now that one was
cancelled. They seem very organized and act out all the games in the
“Spirit Whisper” room while planning for the events. Jocelyn has
been wearing 3 different hats these days: special events, park
instructor, and swim tester.
Adventure
Camp made it through their first overnight, be it one week late. Kris
was flirting with the Dunkin Donuts girl on the way home from the
Cape, although he has his eyes on a certain redhead. When asked if
he wanted to buy a donut by Tim M., he said, “No, I am watching my
figure.” Tim asked, “What are you watching it do?” Jackie R.
(who didn’t realize JAY-Z was inappropriate for middle school
campers) has turned Tim and Kris into the celebrity couple, giving
them their own name, “Kim.”
Matt
M. was wearing his “knight in shining armor costume” when he
protected Nicole B. from the ill-mannered children. Guess those kids
didn’t know there was a new sheriff in town. Anna J. seems to have
a different hair color every week, just to keep the kids guessing.
An adult chipmunk was reported at McKay park, but it was only poor
Jocelyn R. recovering from wisdom teeth extraction. Brendan L. was in
no hurry to get a paycheck, as he was the last person to pass in all
his paperwork. Natalie P. earned extra points for running with her
boss, J.R.K. Conor L. and Jenna L. have been very busy at
BHS…getting to know each other. Rumor has it that Kenny P. is a Bev
Rec Dork.
Scott
is doing a great job as Health Coordinator and has handled parents
well, while collecting tardy health forms. His motto is, “Liquid
sweat means hard work.” Will M. and Ryan L. have been sharing
lovely rides through the park, handling calls and requests from
patrons and Q., and enjoying many Angie Miller tunes. The question is
the morning is, “Will Ryan be tired or awake this morning?” New
gate attendant Nick T. was nice enough to bring his girlfriend What’s
Brewin’ before his morning shift.
The
lifeguards have been busy testing the kids on their ability to swim,
due to Christian’s Law. Maybe they should be testing the
instructors too. Megan C. was looking for her “lock, unlock.”
After her hours of searching, she finally found her car keys. All
lifeguards have successfully received their annual base burns, so let
the tanning begin.
Bruce
had a tough first week, hobbling around with his bad knee. Don’t
ask him how much blood and fluid was taken out. But you can find out
on Facebook.
