Shooting Optum Volunteer day for the Celtics is one of my favorite events to shoot. Kelly Olynyk, Jae Crowder and Jonas Jerebko stopped by to talk to students at the Robert Frost School in Lawrence to help out with some of the construction and painting.
The pep rally had to have been the loudest group of kids I ever have shot. Enthusiastic about school, learning and their new renovated school thanks to Optum and the Celtics, they couldn't stop screaming and cheering.
Kelly is like a big kid. Watching him last week at The Franklin Park Zoo was such a treat. Kelly spent the day riding camels, taking selfies and snapchatting with the kids, feeding birds and doing many piggy back rides.
The children from Horizons for homeless were so grateful to spend the day at the zoo and were in awe of every animal. Plastered against the glass, the kids "oohed and awed," although when lunch time came I think they were thrilled for a break from the 90 degree weather.

William A Berkowitz Elementary School students kept me feeling young yesterday.
I found myself in a heated battled of whose better: Superman or Batman with a group of second graders. I also discovered my lack of knowledge for the lyrics to The Weeknd's hit songs.
The day ended with a pep rally, where a teacher scorned at me to sit down, thinking I was a student followed by a mosh pit greater than any music festival with Kelly Olynyk in the middle.
NBA Fit week has officially started, and Kelly Olynyk has the kids of Waltham YMCA pumped and ready to go. Co-sponsored by Sun Life, the event hosted 5 different schools at the Waltham YMCA. Along with Lucky and Celtics Dancer Sarah, Kelly taught the kids healthy nutrition and work outs to keep them fit.
