PROJECT DREAM KICK OFF PARTY


Project dream:
Mentoring, Physical and Recreational activity

This program gives students with disabilities from age 14 to 21 a chance to get more physically active with the help of a SUNY Cortland undergraduate. This allows the students to gain physical activity for 2 hours a week and it allows the teacher to work one on one with a student to gain insight into their life and habits.

On February the 11th the dream project hosted a kick off party in the SUNY Cortland facilities. It was a great event everyone was actively engaged in our program. Family's were enjoying them selves by playing can jam and also playing on the spooner boards. About 50 percent of the family's showed up, it was a great turn out. The students that were able to meet with their child were actively engaged in all the activities and were working on trying to figure out what the student was capable of. The night went by fast because we were constantly running around playing games and finding equipment. Over all it was a great night and i can;t wait for the ending party where we can do this all over again.
