end of the school year party

6/20/2017

 
Each year as the school year comes to an end, Dakota Woodlands (DW) hosts a party for those that live at the shelter.   It’s a tradition for DW to celebrate this time of year, recognizing a child’s success of completing the school year and applauding parents for supporting their children in this accomplishment.
 
This year we welcomed 30 former residents to this celebration that lived at DW in the past year, in addition to the 22 families staying with us.  With the help of volunteers, many activities were lined up for this event that included food, games, prizes and arts & crafts. The children enjoyed jumping in the inflatable bouncy house, catching a surprise from the fishing pond game, experiencing the artistry of Henna Tattoos, jazzing it up with face painting, and receiving books from our book giveaway.  We even had drawings for special prizes, giving our families a chance to win gift cards and bicycles!
 
A heartfelt thank you to our generous community of volunteers and donors for making this event possible!  We would like to recognize Chef Jeff from New Horizon Foods for creating and donating a spectacular display of fruit offerings for our residents.  This made the menu extra special! These delicious fruit trays were accompanied by walking tacos, variety of meats and toppings, veggie trays, yummy baked goods, popcorn, and a selection of beverages.
 
Congratulations to all of the school aged children for a job well done!  YOU are amazing!
