Riverside DREAM Monthly Snapshot January 2015 Program Happenings and Highlights • •
• •
This month, mentors and mentees reunited after a long winter break. Riverside attended Winter Adventure Camp on January 31st at Camp DREAM in Fletcher, Vermont. The group had a lot of fun in the snow, playing broomball, sledding, and trying out cross-country skiing. Riverside senior, Safia, has decided to attend New England College in the fall, one of several schools she has been accepted to with scholarship! One Riverside teen, Noorto, is fundraising for a school trip to Costa Rica through Education First travels. If you would like to help support her, please e-mail me for details!

Riverside held one Friday this month, a one-on-one afternoon. Some pairs baked yummy food at their mentors’ apartments, while others took trips to the bookstore and watched a movie together.
