13 February 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Today was Hanscom Spirit Day! We started the morning with a community meeting for grades Pre-K through 4, where our very own boys and girls basketball teams hosted a clinic for their younger peers. It was a fun morning and a wonderful way to bring our K-8 school together.

This afternoon, we will hold our annual student vs. faculty basketball game for grades 5-8. I am sure it will be a spirited matchup!

Next week, school will be closed for our annual winter break. I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable time off. If you are traveling, please stay safe. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday, February 23. Until then, enjoy the break!

Warm Regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr

Child Therapy Boston

8 Week Social Emotional Therapy Groups

Locations in Needham, Sudbury and Belmont

https://childtherapyinboston.com/

We are so excited to offer Summer 2026 therapy groups at all three Child Therapy Boston locations — Belmont, Needham, and Sudbury. Summer can be a powerful time for growth, as kids and teens benefit from extra structure, routine, and peer connection while school is out. Our 8-week summer groups are thoughtfully designed to help participants build confidence, strengthen social connections, and develop practical tools they can carry into the next school year. From social skills and emotional regulation to coping skills, anxiety support, mindfulness, and expressive therapies, our groups provide a supportive and engaging environment where kids and teens can learn, practice, and grow alongside peers.

Explore our Summer 2026 group offerings by location below to find the right fit for your child…




If you have questions about group placement or would like help deciding which group is the best match, our team is always happy to connect.

Fill out a screening form, give us a call at 781-400-2641, or email us today!
