The group enjoyed a Friday of silliness and singing with karaoke. Several teen DREAM mentees joined their mentors at an annual Dance Marathon at Middlebury College to raise money for Vermont Children’s Hospital at Fletcher Allen. The DREAMers spent one rainy Friday having a game day, playing board games, ping pong, foosball, ball, and indoor versions of tag games! Members of the dance and beat boxing campus clubs visited the DREAMers one Friday to give a dance/beat box workshop.
