Program Details: Activities Schedules: Mondays: 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm Tuesdays through Fridays: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm Lunches: Free lunches will be served from Tuesday through Friday, starting in June. Romper Day Celebration: On Monday August 4th, participants will be invited to the 111th annual 'Romper Day Celebration,' which features games, relay races, and dances.
