Elm Street DREAM Monthly Snapshot April 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
Elm Street collaborated with Riverside and Salmon Run for their annual event Spring Thing. They tie-dyed, played soccer, had a huge game of tug-o-war, and let mentees pie their mentors! Elm Street had two culminating events this month. They took the whole group to Get Air Vermont for an afternoon of bouncing fun. Mentors took the teen mentees to Jay Peak Waterpark for a day. The teens had a blast swimming, floating down the lazy river, and zooming down waterslides. For the last Friday of the year around 100 mentors and mentees from all three UVM programs gathered at North Beach for an end of the year/senior celebration. Everyone had a blast playing yard games, tie-dying, getting their faces painted, and eating lots of yummy food!

Mentors took a younger group of mentees to UVM to play on the turf in the gym. The older mentees went to the Burlington Airport for a behind the scenes tour! Mentors and mentees did small group activities and one-on-ones.
