th
June 20 marked the launch of summer programs in the Franklin Square community. Interns worked with the Parks and Recreation Department to organize an ice cream social where interns surveyed youth about the activities they would like to do this summer. Youth made tie-dye shirts, played kickball, and visited the North End Farmers’ Market. Franklin Square DREAMers made posters and baked goods for a bake sale. Two groups of children visited North Beach for a day of fun in the sun. A group of DREAM youth attended the launch of the Burlington Public Library’s summer program. Franklin Square youth enjoyed making friendship bracelets and magazine animals.
