In the enchanting state of Massachusetts, where the leaves transform into a kaleidoscope of colors every autumn and the winters sparkle with snow, there's a group of extraordinary kids who are masters of the ancient sport, Fencing. These aren't your everyday kids, oh no! These are the "Massachusetts Mini Musketeers", young knights and dames of the modern world, charging into battles with their shiny foils, épées, and sabres. Every day after school, they leave their backpacks at home and replace them with their mighty weapons and impenetrable masks. Meet their fearless leader, Captain Fizzlesticks, a figment from a fairy tale, who stepped out of a dusty old book and into reality. Fizzlesticks, with his fuzzy moustache and a hat as pointy as a fencing sword, makes the training sessions a barrel of laughs. He has a peculiar habit of speaking in rhymes and riddles, which sometimes tangles up the Mini Musketeers, but they love him all the same. When the Mini Musketeers train, they dance a dance of discipline and focus. Their swift, nimble movements are like a choreographed performance, filled with lunges, parries, and ripostes. When they play, laughter echoes across Massachusetts, reaching from Boston's historic Freedom Trail to the leafy trails of the Berkshire Mountains. So, if you're ever in Massachusetts, and hear the 'clink-clink' of fencing swords, follow the sound, and you might just find our Mini Musketeers, led by the rhyming Captain Fizzlesticks, spinning tales of their fencing adventures. Remember, though, don't be fooled by their giggles and grins. These kids are as fierce as they are fun.

For more than 100 years, Hill House has been a beacon of hope in downtown Boston. The Mt. Vernon and Joy Street buildings, located in the heart of Beacon Hill, offer a variety of programs for children from newborn to 12 years old. From creative endeavors to intellectual pursuits, Hill House gives families who live in Beacon Hill, Back Bay, West End and other downtown neighborhoods access to the same youth activities that are typically found in the suburbs. Each year, over 2,000 children enroll in Hill House programs. Hill House is particularly well-known for its early childhood classes, but it also supports the community through monthly senior dinners, outreach programs and seasonal events. The Hill House Soccer program is Boston’s largest organized fall soccer program, with more than 500 players and volunteer coaches. The organization also encourages families to give back with its Hill House Outreach Program (HHOP), which donates time and assets to local non-profits that serve women and children in need. For more than a century, Hill House has been providing an inspiring and supportive environment for children and families in downtown Boston. With its array of athletic, creative and intellectual programs, Hill House continues to be a source of hope and opportunity for many.
