Salmon Run DREAM Monthly Snapshot April 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
Salmon Run collaborated with Elm Street and Riverside 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! Salmon Run went to Ethan Allen Park and had a barbeque for their culminating event! 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!
