Last Tuesday, our Melrose Lady Dutchmen Gymnasts took on the Albany Huskies and shined, posting a 142.0 Varsity score and a 128.6 JV score! Making the night even more special was: the girls from both team asked for a picture together, warming the hearts of all coaches. The Dutchmen and Huskies trained together one day this past summer, and they continue to build friendships that will go beyond the competition floor.

• Melrose High School is launching a FIRST Robotics Team and inviting students in grades 9–12 to join—no experience needed!
• Students can explore interests in building, coding, graphic design, business, and leadership while gaining real-world skills. Robotics builds teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence—and looks great on college, scholarship, and job applications.
