Our kids got to enjoy our annual Halloween Carnival yesterday put on by our KEEP Committee, Recreational Team and individual employee teams!

Each team dressed up in theme and designed a station for the kids to interact with! This was awesome for social skills training, but more importantly to help them feel like normal kids and enjoy a bit of fun.

The kids enjoyed a plethora of fun activities, including:

• Trick-or-Treat Stations: The entire carnival area was filled with treat stations where the kids filled their bags with delicious candies and goodies. The smiles on their faces were priceless!
  
• Carnival Games: There were games and activities for everyone, from ring toss to apple bobbing, with exciting prizes to be won.
  
• Sports & Movement: We topped the event off with two giant blow-ups at either end of the carnival: one for basketball and one for a competitive 1-on-1 game!
  
• Costumes: Thanks to our generous donors, our kids each got to design their own halloween costume and make it exactly the way they wanted it. We had rappers, fairies, actresses, dinosaurs and more.

All of our staff are intensively trained in Trauma Informed Care, so events like these are an extra opportunity for people who don’t see the kids one-on-one every day to show them a little extra support. We really are their biggest fans!!
