Weekly Programming with Children
One Friday, mentors brought snacks and played games in the community center with their mentees. Before leaving town for spring break, mentors took mentees to downtown Burlington for pizza and ice cream. On the first day of spring, mentees were on campus for a St. Patrick’s Day party. St. Patrick’s Day snacks were a big hit, and some mentees played cards while others watched a movie called “Luck of the Irish.”
