The​ ​first​ ​DREAM​ ​Friday​ ​of​ ​the​ ​semester​ ​was​ ​spent​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community​ ​where​ ​current​ ​mentors and​ ​mentees​ ​enjoyed​ ​a​ ​barbeque​ ​and​ ​created​ ​a​ ​list​ ​of​ ​expectations​ ​for​ ​the​ ​year.

Franklin​ ​Square​ ​DREAM​ ​took​ ​a​ ​trip​ ​to​ ​Chapin​ ​Orchards​ ​for​ ​some​ ​apple​ ​picking!
