Franklin Square DREAM Monthly Snapshot March and April 2012 Program Happenings and Highlights Franklin Square mentors put on several of the most successful bake sales I have personally ever heard of during April! Combined, they raised around $500 selling their sweet treats on campus, to help support their culminating trip! DREAMers spent a day at the new Jay Peak Waterpark as their culminating trip for the year! The trip was a huge hit, and everyone had a blast. The DREAM office put on our annual Teen Retreat, inviting teens from all Vermont DREAM Programs to the King Street Youth Center for a weekend of educational workshops, and, of course, plenty of fun! Teens attended workshops on appropriate use of social media, financial responsibility, and leadership styles. Additionally, a DREAM teen worked with an office staffer to help lead a fun and interactive workshop on finding your passion!
