Kevin Droe, Director of the UNI Spectrum Project, brought our program today. The Spectrum Project brings together children of all abilities, UNI students from diverse fields, and the community to co-create music, drama, dance, and art. Our mission is to expand arts access, celebrate creativity, and inspire more inclusive communities.

On July 22, our program was provided by Karla Altenbrenner, who manages the sheriff's canine dog, Mary. She is a crisis response/therapy dog who works with people at stressful times. Karla shared that when there was a su***de in a neighboring school district, Mary was with the kids all week, and could actually sense which kids needed a dog to pet, to cuddle, or simply to lean into.

Jennifer Bainbridge from Re/Max Realty talked with us about the challenges of the real estate market.

Cory Hurless, from the Hearst Center for the Arts, brought information about their summer programs.
