WE'RE BACK!! Boston, MA April 16th and 17th, 2011 Back by popular demand, Sister 2 Sister was even bigger this time around. We had over 20 participants, including our first ever middle schoolers. The whole crew worked hard, improved a ton, and had a great time... Many thanks to ALL of our mentor teachers (Converse--Alex, Ann and Katrina; Reebok--Shaona, Pam, Sarah and Rose; New Balance--Precious; Sperry Topsider--Layla) Here are some shots from the weekend...
