Weekly Programming with Children Mentors brought mentees to downtown Burlington one Friday for pizza and ice cream! Mentors talked to Nikki (graduating mentee) about what she wanted for her last DREAM Friday, and they decided to go to SkateLand in Essex for rollerskating! On the last Friday of the year, Birchwood/Champlain DREAM held a culminating barbeque at Oakledge Park in Burlington. They played games and had hamburgers and hot dogs by the lake. Everyone had a blast, although they were sad that Kate and Nikki are saying goodbye to DREAM.
