What did you do last weekend? On Friday I took students from my free SAT program in Holyoke on a tour of three college campuses. On Saturday, I proctored a mock SAT at Holyoke Community College. Finally on Sunday I painted faces and helped with arts and crafts at APAU's (org) Block party. All of this between working on presentations, homework and studying of course .
