Poultney DREAM Monthly Snapshot April 2014 Program Happenings and Highlights Several members of DREAM’s Central Office surprised the Poultney group with a “raid” on April 2nd to celebrate the Local Program’s accomplishments. The theme of the raid was based on the popular YouTube video, “What Does the Fox Say?” The Poultney Local Program celebrated their six graduating seniors at their Alumni Welcome event on April 28th. The seniors learned about DREAM’s Alumni Organization while they decorated cookies at a dessert party! Participants Mentees

Mentors and mentees had one-on-one time together. Before they split up, though, they had a surprise raid from the DREAM office! The group ate quite the feast of eggs, bacon, and pancakes one Wednesday, which they dubbed “breakfast day.” One Wednesday, the group played Apples to Apples and then took a trip to the GMC farm. Everyone particularly enjoyed visiting the new baby chicks. For the final DREAM Wednesday of the school year, the group came together to discuss issues of bullying. The group learned about different types of bullying, and mentors and mentees told stories of their experiences with bullying.
