Mentors (and mentees!) put a lot of time and effort into fundraising this month. Mentors offered babysitting services to the Saint Michael’s community as well as hosted a Pancake Breakfast Fundarsier! Mentees came to campus to help mentors sell tickets to their delicious event. This month DREAM held its annual Teen Retreat for younger teens, age 12-14. Teens from across Vermont met at Dartmouth College, where they participated in a Snapchat challenge and discussion about Internet safety. Following this they had an overnight at the Dartmouth Class of ’69 cabin, where teens performed in a talent show and ate lots of S’mores! Franklin Square DREAMers parted ways for the summer after an exciting culminating trip to Jay Peak on April 23rd!
Participants Mentees Total: 22
