Benchmark WOD
If you didn’t come in Monday, you’ll get a shot at this cycle’s benchmark WOD today.  If you did come in yesterday, you’ll be hitting your posterior chain hard after the power cleans.  This brisk cuplet will have you waking up your backside with some deadlifts and then flushing it out with a quick box push.  To be clear, everyone will be doing power clean first – we’ll just be splitting tasks come WOD time based on your Monday attendance.

Help for local teens in need
One of our members has been working with the guidance department at Somerville High to source aid for over 20 unaccompanied minors who are currently attending SHS.
These students live on their own and work near full time jobs after school to afford rent in local apartments.
They are struggling and in a highly precarious position.
The guidance department  tries to support them with simple items to make their everyday lives a bit simpler.
These items range from new sheets and towels, clothes, toiletries ( razors, shampoos, first aid supplies) to gift cards ( grocery stores, Restaurants, CVS, Target) and T passes.
We will be holding a small collection at CFSV to gather supplies to donate to these students in need.
From 5/18-5/22 there will be a collection box in one of the daily cubbies. If you are able to get any of these items for donation- it would be greatly appreciated!
If you want to get more involved, or you have a larger item to be donated, or you need these items picked up at your house don’t hesitate to contact Erin Baumgartner @ erin.baumgartner@gmail.com or (978)944-2247.
