Family Connection Spotlight:
Easter Eggstravaganza
Although Rainbow Days' 2021 Easter Eggstravaganza looked a little different this spring without our annual in-person family outing, this Easter season was still a huge success for the Family Connection team!

With the help of countless amazing donors, volunteers and supporters, Rainbow Days was able to deliver 1,126 Easter baskets filled with necessities and seasonal treats to infants, children, teens and parents living at local homeless shelters, transitional living sites and motels. This entire project helped Rainbow Days spread springtime joy, meet families' tangible needs and remind them that "some bunny" was thinking of them during this difficult time.
Community Connection Spotlight:
"Feel Good Friday"
This school year, our Community Connection team has been proud to partner with Junior League of Dallas to support the community at John Neely Bryan Elementary School through the inaugural "Feel Good Friday" project.

Prior to the start of the spring semester, a group of Junior League Provisional Volunteers assembled goody bags for each student, teacher, faculty and staff member at the school. Each bag contained treats, school supplies and positive, encouraging handwritten messages.
Over eight weeks, the Community Connection team distributed these bags on each "Feel Good Friday" to all 397 students and 63 educators and staff at the school. The teachers, administrators, staff, and cafeteria and custodial workers were very grateful for the school supplies and affirmations they received, and the students were incredibly excited by the new box of crayons, emoji plush, sheet of stickers and other fun items they received each week. The affirmations that accompanied these gifts were an added bonus, especially amidst the particularly challenging school year the students and staff have had.
Thank you, Junior League of Dallas!
