Weekly Programming with Children Hickory street program’s summer started off right with an exciting day. First, current mentees took a short trip to the local library where they created marshmallow catapults! It was a site to behold as what seemed to be hundreds of mini marshmallows flew across the room! Some of the youth decided to sign up for the library’s summer reading program where they can report on their progress for a chance to win prizes! Upon return from the library, DREAM was excited to welcome three new families at a community pizza party kick-off! Youth and adults alike became acquainted with name games and icebreakers. Youth are already starting to warm up to Kelsea and accept her as their own! The group had a nature walk scavenger hunt. After collecting all of the items, the nature was used to create beautiful masks! They had also made cheerio bird feeders and ooblek!
