Willowbrook DREAM Monthly Snapshot June 2015 Program Happenings and Highlights
Our very own mentor Sarah Shames of Bennington College will be working with Willowbrook youth this summer, providing to them enriching activities and opportunities! Sarah started off the summer with arts, crafts, games, and a burrito bash that the whole community was invited to! This month, the group had their first field trip for a bake sale on campus. They used their impressive business skills to raise $70.00!

This month, Sarah wasted no time getting Willowbrook youth out of the community. After a week of arts, crafts, and games, the group took a trip to Molly Stark Park for a day! The group spent a Thursday afternoon baking cookies in order to sell them at a bake sale on campus to raise money for more summer fun! One Friday, youth took a trip to Bennington College campus to sell baked goods that they made themselves! They used business and marketing skills to raise 70 dollars!
