During April Vacation, many students complain that by the end of the week there is nothing fun to do. Here are a few suggestions for curing your April Vacation boredom:

1. Support the WA teams…

Softball is playing at 11:00 on April 19 vs. Chelmsford High School

Girls Lacrosse is playing at 12:00 on April 19 vs. Lowell High School

Baseball is playing at 10:00 on April 20 vs. Dracut High School

Boys Volleyball is playing at 11:00 on April 20 vs. Chelmsford High School

2.There are a ton of new movies coming out during the April Vacation week:
Scream 4: If you like scary movies, this one is for you! The Ghostface Killer and Sidney Prescott are back again in this movie that stars Neve Campbell Courtney Cox and David Arquette.

Rio: It’s a cute cartoon  about two birds that decide to go on a big adventure starring Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and George Lopez.

Madea’s Big Happy Family: A comedy written by, directed by and starring Tyler Perry about Madea’s  funny family.

Water for Elephants: Starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, this movie is about a student who decides to join the circus after his parents are killed.

3. For those brave enough to venture out to Boston…

Many students are going to Newbury Street and Copley Center to shop, get something to eat, and hang out. The Prudential Center Mall is fun to hang out in and close to many other attractions, like Fenway Park and Boston Common. There are many restaurants to go to as well, including P.F. Chang’s, California Pizza, and many other moderately priced restaurants.

Also, you can go to the Charles Playhouse and see Blue Man Group. They play every day at 8 and they have additional times on their website. Tickets can get pricy, sometimes over $100 if you sit right up front, but the show is very entertaining and  worth the trip.

The Red Sox are playing… so if you can manage to get tickets that is another fun thing to do to get psyched for Spring. The Red Sox are playing at Fenway Park on April 16, 17, and 18 in the early afternoon against the Blue Jays and it is sure to be a fun day if you can get tickets.

4. Some are sticking to the classics…

Many students say they will be going to the mall, eating at W.H.O.P., or just hanging out at their friends houses.

5. Seniors– get ready to make decisions about college!

Many seniors will be taking their April vacation to make their final decisions about where they want to go to college next year. Visiting campuses and filling out paperwork will surely be filling a lot of many of the seniors’ time.
