Windsor-Union Square DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights This month DREAM hosted Teen WAC! Youth from across VT got together for a day of
fun in Burlington. Some of the teens raised money for the Penguin Plunge and made the plunge into the freezing lake! DREAMers cheered on these braves mentors and mentees from the side of the lake! The teens ate pizza, watched Saint Michael’s College women’s hockey game, and ice skated away the afternoon! Mentors invited a campus dance group, Sheba, to come and teach the kids a few hip-hop dance moves. Sheba taught some of the kids a few dance moves from popular hip-hop videos. This month the mentors held a fundraiser at Margaritas Restaurant in Lebanon, NH. This month the mentors welcomed two new kids to the program. Mentor, Gautam Babu, and PED, Kylie Edwards, went to watch Cicely play in her basketball tournament!
